Growing Notes

Direct seeding is recommended. Roots are sensitive to disturbance. Sow outside 1 to 2 weeks after your average last frost date and at least 2 months before your first average fall frost date.

Thinning for larger plants (optional): When 3" tall, thin to 1-2 plants every 24"–36".
Start Inside: 6 to 8 weeks before your average last frost date. Roots are sensitive to disturbance; may want to sow in biodegradable pots that can be planted in the ground. Seed Depth: Press into surface. Days to Emerge: 10–14 days Top-dress with compost if needed. Let new plants come up each spring to assure plentiful, ever-increasing color! Zones 3-9.
