Growing Tips:

Recommended to start indoors and transplant. Thin to healthiest seedlings. Will grow into a large bush in mild climates over winter. Add mulch at base. Drought tolerant. Tender perennial. Readily self-seeds with the help of birds.

Seeds should be planted indoors and kept in a dome with a heated mat for 4-8 weeks. 

It is key that your new starts be hardened off.  This is a process that requires taking them outside during the day, for a period of time, before they are planted. This acclimates your seedlings to the outside world, meaning the elements like the wind and sun. We do it for several weeks to a month as this strengthens their stems and overall plant structure. 

• Start for a short period of time initially, then graduate to more time each day

• One week minimum is recommended

• Bring them inside in the early evening and overnight

• Keep an eye on them and constantly water them. Make sure they have not blown over.
