Planting & Care Instructions

2. Planting Depth: Surface sow; lightly press seeds into the soil without covering (needs light to germinate)
3. Soil Temperature: Keep at 70-75°F (21-24°C) for best germination
4. Watering: Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged
5. Germination Time: 7-14 days

Growing & Maintenance
