Seeds benefit from being chilled overnight prior to sowing.
Can be sown directly outdoors after all danger of frost has passed.
Barely cover seeds with 1/16 inch of fine soil.
When seedlings are 2 to 3 inches high, thin to 10 to 12 inches apart. Replant thinned plants.
The plants prefer a well-drained soil in a sunny location.
In milder areas the plants will over-winter and flower again.
