Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:

No special preparation is required. However, lightly chilling seeds in the refrigerator for 1-2 weeks can improve germination rates.

Sowing:

Sow seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date or directly outdoors after the danger of frost has passed.
If sowing indoors, use a seed-starting mix and scatter seeds on the surface, pressing them lightly into the soil.
Space seeds 1-2 inches apart and cover lightly with soil.
For outdoor sowing, scatter seeds over a prepared seedbed and cover lightly with soil.

Germination:

Seeds typically germinate within 7-14 days.
Maintain a soil temperature of 65-70°F (18-21°C) for optimal germination.
Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged during the germination period.

Transplanting:

If starting seeds indoors, transplant seedlings outdoors after the last frost date and when they have at least two sets of true leaves.
Space plants 12-18 inches apart in the garden.
Harden off seedlings by gradually exposing them to outdoor conditions over a week before planting.

Care and Maintenance:

Water regularly to keep the soil evenly moist, especially during dry periods.
Mulch around plants to retain soil moisture and suppress weeds.
Prune the plants regularly to encourage bushier growth and to prevent them from becoming leggy.
