GROWING RECOMMENDATIONS:

2.  Transplant visible sprouts immediately. Plant any remaining seeds after 90 days in pots w/seed starting mix. Place in warm indirect sunlight and keep moist. Germination will occur in 3-4 weeks. 
3.  Resize into bigger pots as needed and transplant outdoors once well-established after last frost. Protect during the first few winters.
