DAYS TO GERMINATION	10-12 days at 65-70°F (18-21°C)
SOWING	Transplant (recommended) – Sow 4-6 weeks before planting out. Barely cover as light aids germination. Transplant to cell packs or larger containers when the first true leaves appear. In the greenhouse, grow transplants at 50-55°F (10-13°C) to keep the plants from stretching. Harden off and transplant outside after the last frost. Direct seed – Successive plantings every 2-3 weeks until late spring give the best quality flowers and pods. May require support.
