Planting & Care

Sow seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before last frost or directly outdoors after danger of frost has passed. 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.

Choose a location with partial shade to full sun and well-drained soil. Water regularly during establishment, then reduce frequency as plants mature. Mulch around plants to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Divide clumps every few years to maintain vigor.
