Spacing , Seed: 2-3 inch
Spacing, Plant: 18-24 inches
Plant Height: 32 to 48 inches

SOWING: Start seeds indoors 4-6 weeks before last frost. Or plant outdoors in well-drained soil in early spring, after all danger of frost, when soil is 65-75F. Cover seeds with 1/4 inch of soil. Can be sown February to July.
GERMINATION: 7-25 days, depending upon soil and weather conditions. Plants require light to germinate.
THINNING AND TRANSPLANTING: Transplant indoor plants when young seedlings are about 2-3 inches high into 3 inch pots and then place in a cool place for 10 to 15 days. Then set the plants outdoors after all danger of frost spaced 18 to 24 inches.
SUGGESTIONS: Keep soil moderately moist during germination. Hardy in zones 6 thru 9. Sowings made in mid-summer and after should be over-wintered on a cool place before planting the following spring. Fertilize monthly during growing season. Plants should only be divided when plants show overcrowding. When divided, the plants will not flower for a season until they become use to the new location.
