Sow seeds outdoors as soon as the soil can be worked. Cover lightly and keep the soil surface moist until emergence. Thin seedlings to 15–23 cm (6–9") apart once they have their first true leaves.

Transplant:
Start indoors 3–4 weeks before the last frost. Transplant into larger containers when the first true leaves appear. Grow at 10–12 °C at night for several weeks to help develop a strong root ball.
