Spring Planting: Start indoors 4-6 weeks before last frost or sow outdoors after frost danger passes

Seeds germinate in 7-21 days in well-drained soil with full sun to partial shade. Each generous packet contains 300 seeds, enough to cover 100 square feet. Space transplants 18-24" apart for optimal growth.
