Planting Guide

1. Start seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost or sow directly outdoors in warm soil.

2. Press seeds gently into soil without covering deeply; they need light to germinate.

3. Keep soil lightly moist until seedlings appear.

4. Transplant outdoors after the risk of frost has passed.

5. Harvest leaves regularly to encourage full, bushy growth.
