PROPAGATION
Seeds should be sown in light, well-drained
soil in a warm, sunny greenhouse (60 degrees minimum) 6 to 8 weeks
before they are to be set out. They should be set out when the
weather is really warm and settled. The seeds take 16 to 20 days
to sprout. Transplant the seedlings, as soon as they are large
enough to handle, into flats, 2 to 3 inches apart or individually
in small pots. In either case, use well-drained soil. The plants
must never suffer through drought or low temperatures. Harden
them off gradually before planting them outside.
