Materials
Care
- Sowing: For best results, start the very fine seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost.
- Stratification: An optional 2-4 week period of cold stratification can improve germination rates.
- Depth: Press seeds into the surface of the soil, as they need light to germinate. Do not cover.
- Germination: Keep soil consistently moist and warm (70-75°F). Germination is slow and can take 14-30 days.
- Spacing: Carefully transplant seedlings outdoors after the danger of frost has passed, spacing them 12 inches apart.
- Light Requirement: Full Sun to Partial Shade.
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.
For general seed-starting and storage guidance, see University of Minnesota Extension’s seed-starting guide. Use the variety-specific packet directions for this product.
