Planting Instructions:
Direct sow seeds in early spring, pressing them into the surface of the soil since they need light to germinate. Keep the soil moist until germination which usually occurs within 2 weeks. To start indoors, plant several seeds each in peat pots, keep the soil lightly moist and at room temperature until germination. Transplant the seedlings outdoors after the threat of frost. Once established, they tolerate dry and hot conditions well and will only need watering in extended periods of dry weather. Do not overwater. Pinching off the tips of developing plants will encourage branching and produce fuller, bushier plants.
