Direct seed: Sow in spring when soil is warm, 65°F (18°C). Sow in groups of 3-4 seeds, 1/8" deep. Thin to one plant. Sow in the fall to allow the oscillating temperatures and natural rain to stimulate germination.

SOIL REQUIREMENTS: Average, well-drained soil.
PLANT SPACING: 18-24". Division is necessary only when the plants appear crowded.
