For best results, sow seeds indoors 8 to 10 weeks before the last frost, 0.5 to 1 cm deep in rich potting soil. Maintain a temperature of 24 to 26 °C to encourage germination, which usually occurs in 7 to 14 days. Transplant seedlings outdoors once the risk of frost has passed, spacing them 40 to 50 cm apart in well-drained soil enriched with organic matter.
