Sow in good seed sowing mix.
Germination takes 7-14 days at 70-75F (20-25C).
The soil temperature should be steady, low or fluctuating temperatures may cause the seed to take much longer to germinate.
Growing Instructions
When large enough to handle transplant the seedlings to boxes or 7.5cm (3in) pots, move to 10cm (4in) pots 5-6 weeks after sowing and apply liquid fertilizer beginning 3-4 weeks after final potting.
Gradually acclimatize to outdoor conditions and plant out in late spring after all risk of frost has passed 30cm (12in) apart.
