Care
- Sowing: Start seeds indoors 10-12 weeks before the last frost, or direct sow outdoors in late fall or early spring.
- Depth: Press seeds lightly into the surface of the soil, as they need light to germinate. Do not cover.
- Spacing: Space or thin plants to 6-9 inches apart.
- Light Requirement: Full Sun.
- Soil: Requires gritty, very well-drained soil. Excellent drainage is essential.
- Watering: Water sparingly once established; this plant does not tolerate wet feet.
Keep unused seeds dry and cool in a clearly labeled, closed container. Protect the packet from humidity and temperature swings, and retain the variety name and sowing notes for your next planting. Use the species-specific directions below when deciding whether to start indoors, sow directly, soak seeds, or provide a cold period. Germination and growth vary with seed handling and local growing conditions.
