Descripción
Coloque las semillas directamente en el jardín a principios de la primavera y a fines del verano. Remojar las semillas en agua tibia durante 24 horas antes de plantarlas ayudará a la germinación, lo que, a su vez, puede ayudar a prevenir la pudrición del suelo y los problemas de larvas de las semillas en suelos frescos en primavera.
