Planting Instructions: In late spring or fall, broadcast seed on top of soil and lightly cover. Winter sowing is also effective with good germination results. Thin plants to 6 inches after true leaves appear. If starting indoors (not recommended) a 2 week cold-moist stratification period via refrigeration will enhance germination.
