The seed is sown in early spring and because it is very fine, a good idea
when sowing it is to mix the seed with vermiculite or dried sand. This will
allow a more even distribution of seed. Sow seed on the surface of
seedling trays, and tamp down. Moisten the mixture and keep moist until
the seedlings emerge. Seed is fast germinating and plants are not frost
tender when mature. Plant into pots or a container when large enough.
