GROWING INSTRUCTIONS:
For the best results, sow seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost. Lightly press seeds into the soil surface, as they need light to germinate. Keep the soil moist but not soggy and provide them with plenty of bright, indirect light. After the last frost, transplant seedlings outdoors, spacing them 9-12 inches apart in full sun. Basket of Gold thrives in well-draining soil and is drought-tolerant once established.
