Plant after the last frost in spring, typically between April and June, depending on your location. Soil temperature should be at least 50°F (10°C).

Plant seeds about 1-2 inches deep and 6 inches apart. For rows, space them 2-3 feet apart.

While not necessary, soaking seeds for 6-8 hours before planting can speed up germination.

Water deeply but infrequently, about once a week, providing 1-1.5 inches of water. Increase frequency during dry spells or extreme heat.

Germination typically occurs within 7-10 days under optimal conditions.

From planting to maturity, it usually takes 80-120 days, depending on growing conditions.

They benefit from a balanced fertilizer (5-10-5) applied at planting time. Avoid over-fertilizing with nitrogen, which can delay flowering.

They can be susceptible to birds, squirrels, rust, and downy mildew. Proper spacing and air circulation can help prevent diseases.
