Press seeds lightly into the soil surface and keep moist but not waterlogged at around 65-70°F (18-21°C). Germination typically occurs in 14-28 days. Once seedlings have two sets of true leaves, transplant into individual pots and harden off before planting outdoors after the danger of frost has passed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChoose a sunny location with well-drained soil.
