Ideal for sowing in spring under glass or on a windowsill, these seeds require shallow planting at just 1/16 inch deep and germinate within 6-14 days in temperatures of 65-75F. Once seedlings are robust enough, transplant them into 3-inch pots and grow on under cooler conditions. When they reach about 8 inches tall, they're ready to be moved to their final growing position in the greenhouse or gradually acclimatized to outdoor conditions. Plant them 18 inches apart in a warm, sunny spot with moist, fertile, well-drained soil. This variety requires regular watering to flourish.
