For an early start, start seeds 2-3 weeks before last frost indoors in peat pots or Jiffy 7’s at 70F. Plant hardened-off seedlings outdoors after danger of frost has passed. Keep plants evenly watered and fertilize with a 15-5-15 granular fertilizer or equivalent until flower buds form. Germination takes 5-10 days.
