Cultivation:
For maximum freshness, please keep seed refrigerated in its original packaging until it is time to plant. Seed should be sown on sterilized seed starting mix. Sow the seed on the surface and cover lightly with a little coarse clean gravel. Make sure that there is enough space between each seed so that the seedlings can grow for their first year without transplanting. Germinate around 15º Celsius. Seedlings will look a little like grass when they emerge, so be sure not to accidentally weed them out. After their first year, plants may be planted out in your garden in moderately fertile soil with good moisture content in full sun.
