Gardener’s Notes:Â Sow directly in the garden after the last spring frost when temperatures stay above 50F (10C) or start seeds indoors 4-6 weeks before last frost. Grow in fertile, well-drained soil spacing seeds 3-4 inches apart. Thin seedlings to recommended spacing for health growth. Water evenly to maintain soil moisture, keeping water off the leaves to prevent disease. Remove old flowers to promote blooming.Â
