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.
