Planting and Care Instructions
Start seed indoors 6 weeks before last killing frost in spring. When 4 inches tall, transplant outside. Or, sow directly outdoors when frost danger is well over. Place 2-3 seeds together every 1 1/2 feet. Thin to one plant every 1 1/2 feet when seedlings are 2 inches tall.
