Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:

• Scarification: Nick the outer seed coat with a knife or soak seeds in warm water for 24 hours to improve germination rates.

Sowing:

• Choose a well-drained area with full sun to partial shade.
• Sow seeds directly into the soil in early spring or fall, after the last frost date.

Germination:

• Keep the soil consistently moist until seeds germinate, typically within 14-21 days.
• Maintain a temperature of around 70°F (21°C) for optimal germination.

Transplanting:

• Once seedlings have developed several sets of true leaves, carefully transplant them into their permanent location.
• Space plants 3-6 feet apart to allow for proper growth and air circulation. Handle seedlings gently to avoid damaging the roots.

Care and Maintenance:

• Water young plants regularly, particularly during dry periods, to help establish a strong root system.
• Prune as needed to maintain the desired shape and encourage bushier growth.
• Monitor for pests and diseases such as aphids or leaf spot, and treat promptly with organic or chemical remedies as necessary.

Happy Gardening!
