Press seeds into moist, well-draining seed-starting mix, barely covering them with soil. Maintain consistent moisture and provide warmth (65-70°F) for germination, which typically occurs in 2-4 weeks. Once seedlings have several true leaves, transplant them into individual pots or garden beds after hardening off.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChoose a location with partial shade to full sun and well-drained soil.
