For practical seed starting, growing from seed succeeds best when the verified product depth, moisture and temperature guidance is followed.
Sow indoors 6 to 8 weeks before the last frost. Sow 6 mm (1/4 in) deep and maintain 21 to 29 °C (70 to 84 °F); germination usually takes 5 to 10 days. Space plants 45 to 60 cm (18 to 24 in) apart. Water at the base when the soil surface begins to dry. Use the product details as a clear guide on how to start seeds while keeping the growing medium evenly moist, never saturated. For indoor seed starting, count back from local conditions and frost dates to decide when to start indoor seeds.
