Transplanting and care
Move the seedlings outdoors only after the last frost has passed. Set the plants 2-3 feet (60-90 cm) apart in a sunny spot with fertile, well-drained soil. Give them regular water through the growing season and an occasional feed to support steady growth. The plant does best in a temperate climate, so in a region with a short season it is worth starting the seed on time indoors rather than sowing late.
Planning space for this variety
