Planting

How to Grow

Choose a sunny spot with well-drained soil for planting.
Tuck seeds just below the soil surface in early spring or fall.
Mist seeds regularly to keep soil moist during germination, which takes 2-3 weeks.
Thin seedlings to prevent overcrowding once they are 2 inches tall.
Water deeply once a week to establish strong roots during dry periods.
Fertilize with a balanced, all-purpose fertilizer in early growth stages.

Pro Tip

Use seed-starting trays indoors for an earlier bloom and transplant after the last frost.
