Sow outdoors 6 to 8 weeks before your average last frost date or in late fall. If starting indoors, do so 6 to 8 weeks before the last frost, as seeds germinate best in cooler soils around 55°F. Expect germination in 14 to 35 days. Plant seeds at a depth of ⅛ inch, spacing them in groups of 3 every 18 inches. Once seedlings reach 2 inches tall, thin them to one plant every 18 inches.
