Direct sow outdoors in late fall or start indoors 6–8 weeks before the last spring frost. Sow seeds lightly on the soil surface and press gently into the dirt, as seeds require light to germinate. Plant in full sun in moist to well-draining soil. Maintain consistent moisture during germination. Seeds will sprout and establish, maturing into resilient plants that reach 2–4 feet tall. Space plants 12–24 inches apart to allow proper spread and air circulation.
