Common Uses

How to Plant
Sow seeds on the soil surface and lightly press in—do not cover deeply, as they need light to germinate. Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Germination usually occurs in 10–15 days. Transplant or thin seedlings to 12–18" spacing (30–45 cm) once established.
When to Plant
• Indoors: 6–8 weeks before the last frost
• Outdoors: After the last frost once the soil has warmed
Packet Size: Approx. 50 seeds
