Planting Instructions:
Seed Preparation:
Stratify seeds by placing them in a damp paper towel, sealing in a plastic bag, and refrigerating for 3-4 months to break dormancy.
Sowing:
After stratification, sow seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last expected frost.
Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep in seed-starting mix.
Germination:
Keep the soil consistently moist and maintain a temperature of 15-20°C (59-68°F).
Germination typically occurs within 2-3 weeks.
Transplanting:
When seedlings have at least two sets of true leaves and the risk of frost has passed, transplant them outdoors.
Space plants 1.2-1.5 meters (4-5 feet) apart to allow for proper growth.
Care and Maintenance:
Water regularly, especially during dry periods, to keep the soil moist.
Mulch around the base of the plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
Prune annually to remove dead or crossing branches and to maintain shape and productivity.
