For an early start, sow indoors 2 to 3 weeks before the last frost date. Use peat pots or Jiffy 7s, maintaining a temperature of 70°F (21°C). Harden off seedlings before transplanting to a full sun site. Water regularly and fertilize twice during the season with a 15-5-15 granular fertilizer or equivalent. Germination occurs in 5 to 10 days.
