Growing Information

Days to germination

About 10–28 days, held at 65–75°F (18–24°C), depending on species.

Sowing

Direct sowing recommended. Clear the bed or field of weeds, broadcast the seed evenly, then rake lightly and tamp so it sits no deeper than 1/8" with firm soil contact. Keep moist until seedlings are up.

When to sow

Late spring, early summer or late fall. For a fall (dormant) sowing, wait until the soil is below 40°F (4.4°C), cold enough that nothing sprouts before spring.

Seeding rate

A packet (about 500 seeds) covers a 75–100' row or 5–10 sq. ft.; 5 oz. covers 1,000 sq. ft.; 6–12 lb. per acre. Sow heavier for the most color, or where soil prep and weeding will be limited.

Soil

Average, well-drained soil.

Light

Full sun.
