Gardener's Notes: In spring, 6 weeks before last frost date, sow seeds 1 inch apart in seed starting mix. Cover very lightly, keep warm and moist, and provide strong light source. When well established, transplant seedlings 3 inches apart into individual pots so root systems can develop. When weather is warm and settled, and seedlings are 3-4 inches tall, plant in the garden in well-drained, good soil, 12-18 inches apart. Protect young plants from slugs and snails. Spent flowers will drop seed to self sow readily.
