• Well-draining potting mix

• Spray bottle for misting

Sowing the Seeds

• Sow 1/16 inch deep and cover very lightly; the seeds benefit from light during germination.
• Keep the soil evenly moist until seedlings emerge.

Transplanting

• Harden off for a week or two before setting plants out after the last frost.

Care Tips
