GROWING RECOMMENDATIONS:
1.  Sow seeds 1/2" deep in small pots or flats with moistened seed-starting mix. Spritz with water to settle into soil.
2.  Seeds need warm temperatures to sprout-- Covering pots with plastic wrap and/or placing a heat mat under pots will speed germination. Place in a spot with full sun and keep soil moist. Germination should occur in 6-8 weeks. 
3.  Resize into bigger pots as needed. Transplant 4” tall seedlings 24” apart after last frost. Protect young plants during the first few winters.
 
*** Plants have long roots, so make sure they have plenty of room to spread.
