Seed Starting Instructions
When to Start: Start seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost date.
How to Plant: Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep in seed-starting mix. Bottom-water to maintain consistent moisture.
Germination: Keep soil temperatures between 75-90°F for best results.
Growing Conditions
Transplanting: Move seedlings outdoors once the risk of frost has passed. Space plants 18-24 inches apart for proper airflow and growth.
Sunlight Requirements: Thrives in full sun, needing 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily.
Watering: Keep soil evenly moist but avoid overwatering. Water at the base of the plant to reduce the risk of fungal diseases.
