How To Grow

These seeds benefit greatly from cold stratification before planting. Some gardeners perform this simply by sowing in the late fall and allowing nature to do the work. If the seeds do not germinate after 3-4 weeks, a cooling period of 2-4 weeks is recommended before re-sowing. Surface sow 6 seeds per plant, and press into the soil without covering. Keep seeds moist until germination. Final plants should be thinned to a spacing of 24 inches. Take note: these plants can grow up to 6 feet tall!

  • Environment: partial shade
