Growing Tips
Seeds require light to germinate - never cover completely. Keep soil surface moist until germination. Prefers cool temperatures for germination. Start indoors 4-6 weeks before last frost for transplanting, or direct sow after last frost in spring. No cold stratification needed. Plants can self-seed readily. Thin seedlings to 6-8 inches apart. Grows well in poor, well-drained soil and tolerates light shade.
