Cultivation method:
Sow seeds indoors 6 to 8 weeks before the last expected frost. Maintain a temperature of 72 to 80°F (22 to 26°C) for optimum germination in 7 to 14 days. Transplant seedlings into individual pots when they are 2 inches (5 cm) tall. Transplant outdoors when all risk of frost has passed, in well-drained soil rich in organic matter.
Space the plants 50 cm apart to allow good air circulation. Water regularly while avoiding wetting the leaves, in order to limit diseases. Thanks to their determined shape, the plants do not need to be staked, which simplifies their maintenance.
