Sowing Directly in the Garden:
- Plan to seed directly in adequate soil under full sun once all frost danger has passed and the soil temperature is above 60 degrees F.
- Spread seeds evenly and cover with ¼ inches of fine soil. Press the soil lightly and maintain even moisture.
- Seedlings typically appear in 10-21 days, occasionally taking longer in colder soils.
Planting in the Garden:
- Opt for a sunny area with nutrient-rich soil. Turn the top 6" of soil. Level and smooth the ground with a rake.
- Dig a hole for each plant large enough to amply accommodate the root ball. Carefully remove the plant from its pot and gently loosen the root ball with your hands to encourage good root development.
- Align the top of the root ball with the surrounding soil level. Fill with soil up to the root ball's top. Firmly press down the soil. Utilize the plant tag as a marker.
- Water in the plants then apply a light mulch layer on top of the soil to help conserve water and reduce weeds.
