Gardener's Notes: In late spring, sow in full sun in well-worked beds or in large containers only after night temperatures reach 50F (10C). Plant 2-4 Inches apart and cover very lightly. Keep soil evenly moist but not soggy. Thin seedlings to 6-8 inches apart so plants have room to mature.

When seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant outside after night temperatures are warm and settled.
