Start seeds indoors 8–10 weeks before the last frost. Soak seeds for 24 hours, then lightly scarify to improve germination. Sow ½ inch deep in moist, well-drained soil and keep warm. Seeds germinate in 1–3 weeks. Transplant outdoors after the danger of frost has passed, spacing plants 12-18 inches apart.
