Planting Instructions:

1. Seed Preparation:

   • While no special preparation is needed, soaking the seeds for a few hours before sowing can improve germination rates.

2. Sowing:

   • Indoor Sowing: Start indoors in early spring using seed trays with moist seed-starting mix. Press seeds lightly into the soil surface.

   • Outdoor Sowing: Choose a shaded or partially shaded location with moist, well-drained soil. Scatter seeds evenly, press them lightly into the soil, and cover lightly.

3. Germination:

   • Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Germination typically occurs within 14-21 days.

4. Transplanting:

   • Indoor-started Seedlings: Transplant outdoors after the last frost date or in early fall.

   • Choose a location with part shade to full shade and moist, well-drained soil. Dig a hole slightly larger than the seedling’s root ball, place the seedling gently into the hole, backfill with soil, and water thoroughly.

Care Tips:

• Water regularly, especially during dry periods, to maintain evenly moist soil.

• Apply mulch around the base of the plant to help retain moisture and suppress weeds.

• Trim back any dead or damaged foliage to keep the plant looking tidy.
