This variety is quite versatile and can be sown from mid-winter through early spring, as well as in late summer and early fall. Avoid planting during the peak heat of mid-summer.
Plant the seeds at a shallow depth of 1/16 inch. Because they are small, be careful not to bury them too deeply to ensure they can sprout successfully.
