Life Cycle: Annual Plant Harvest: 55-60 days Hardiness Zone5 3,4,5,6,7,8,9. Soil: Well Drained , pH 6.5 to 7.5 Sensitive to low pH (pH for indoor growing) Sun Light Requirement: Full Sun Direct Sowing: 6"-12" apart
Germination Instructions:
Germinate in a controlled-temperature cool environment for best results (55-60 degrees). These seeds need sunlight to germinate so you'll want to gently press them into the soil so that they will "stay put" meanwhile taking care not to bury them underneath the soil into darkness. Likewise, when watering, you will want to keep the seeds and soil moist by watering with a light stream or a mist in order to keep the seeds from sinking. Germination takes up to 30 days.
I received my seeds. I have just planted them so I have not seen any growth but I am excited. They also gave me a tomatillo seed for free and I thought that was fun. They were packaged nicely and came in a timely fashion.
