TRANSPLANT (recommended) - Sow 4-6 weeks before last frost. Barley cover as light aids germination. Transplant to larger containers when the first true leaves appear. Harden off and transplant outside after last frost.
DIRECT SEED - After last frost. Successive plantings every 2-3 wks until late Spring gives best quality flowers and pods.
HARVESTING - for longest vase life, harvest flowers in the morning, choosing blooms that have just begun to show good color but are not yet open.
