Sow the seeds directly outdoors at a depth of 1 inch in well-draining soil once the soil temperature reaches at least 60°F (15°C). Space the plants 9-12 inches apart, with 30-36 inches between rows. Keep the soil consistently moist during the germination period, which typically takes 7-10 days. Provide support for the tall stalks as needed, and ensure adequate pollination by planting in blocks rather than rows. • FREE SHIPPING on all orders of $35 or more. • Flat Rate shipping no matter how many seeds you order. • Growing instructions included on each seed packet.
