Growing and Maintenance Guide

To ensure successful germination and healthy plant development, please follow these standardized planting steps:

• Sowing Time: Sow seeds directly into the garden in early spring once the soil has warmed, or in autumn in regions with mild winters.
• Soil Preparation: Choose a location with full sun exposure. Clear the area of weeds and loosen the soil to a depth of 2-3 inches.
• Planting Depth: Sow seeds at a depth of 1/8 inch. Light is required for optimal germination; do not bury them too deeply.
• Spacing: Thin seedlings to 8-12 inches apart once they reach 2 inches in height to allow for proper airflow and root development.
• Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged during the germination phase. Once established, these plants exhibit moderate drought tolerance.
