Start seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost or direct sow in early spring or late fall. Cold stratify seeds for 30 days before planting for best results. Press seeds lightly into the soil (do not cover) and keep moist until growth appears. Seeds germinate in 10–15 days but have naturally low germination rates. Thin seedlings to 12" apart. Plants may not flower in their first year.
