Prepare Your Materials

• Well-draining potting mix
• Spray bottle for misting

Sowing the Seeds

• Sow 1/4 to 1/2 inch deep in moist seed-starting mix.
• Keep the soil evenly moist until germination.

Provide the Right Conditions

• Light: Bright light after germination; full sun to part shade for growing plants.
• Temperature: 60-70°F (16-21°C) for germination.

Germination

Transplanting

• Transplant after the last frost, when seedlings have several grass-like leaves.
• Space plants 12-18 inches apart.

Care Tips
