  • After frost has passed, scatter seeds where desired, or sow seeds indoors 6 to 8 weeks before the last spring frost
  • Do not cover the seeds with soil, as they need light to germinate
  • Until the seeds germinate, cover the seed trays with clear plastic to maintain high humidity
  • Water from below to prevent damping off
