SOWING: Transplant (recommended): Sow seeds in flats 8-10 weeks before the last frost. Sprinkle seeds on the top of the growing medium and tamp them into the soil mix.

To keep plants healthy, pinch back new growth, remove any old wood at the end of the winter, and replace the plants every 4 years.
