Start indoors over 6-8 weeks to plant outdoors in summer or fall, or plant directly outdoors in spring before the last frost:
Prepare the soil by loosening it with a garden fork.
Rake soil to lightly cover seeds.
Water area gently and keep consistently moist for 2-3 weeks.
Indoor Planting:
Choose a large pot (at least 12–14 inches wide and 8 inches deep) with good drainage holes.
Use a light, well-draining potting mix. A mix designed for flowers or a blend of potting soil and perlite works well.
Lightly moisten the soil before planting.
Planting Instructions:
Fill the pot almost to the top with soil, leaving about 1 inch of space.
Sprinkle the seeds, spacing them evenly across the surface:
Lightly press the seeds into the soil but do not bury them deeply - just barely cover.
Mist the surface gently with water to avoid disturbing the seeds.
Location & Light:
Place the pot in a bright window (preferably south-facing) where it will receive at least 6–8 hours of light daily.
If natural light is weak, use a grow light set a few inches above the pot.
Watering:
Mist or lightly water daily until seeds sprout to keep the soil moist but not soggy.
Once sprouted, water when the top inch of soil feels dry.
After Sprouting:
Thin out if needed: once seedlings have a few leaves, gently remove the weakest ones, leaving enough space for plants to grow (aim for 3–4 inches between each plant).
Keep in a warm, bright spot and rotate the pot every few days to keep growth even.
