How to Sow
Sow in a seed tray or small pots, covering seeds with ¼ inch of fine growing mix. Keep moist. When seedlings are about 8 inches tall and pencil-thick, plant them 6 inches apart in holes about 6 inches deep. Leave the leaf tips above the surface and water the holes gently so soil settles around the roots.
