Direct seed when soil warms in late spring or transplant after danger of frost in well-drained moderately rich soil. Sow 1/4" deep, cover lightly with soil. Water sparingly at first. Thin to 8-12", top mature plants to induce branching and increase total yield. Harvest before plants blossom. Annual, absolutely intolerant of frost, damaged by temperatures in the mid-30s.

Full sun. Start indoors or direct seed after last frost. 42 days to maturity. Edible flowers with spicy sweet fragrance lend a peppery-sweet taste to salads. Round leaves also edible. 16" annual.

Easy to grow. Start indoors 3-4 weeks before last frost at temperatures of 65-75 degrees, or direct sow after last frost, 3 to a pocket. Thin to best plant, 1' or more apart. Blossoms 4-6" across are perfect as the center of giant flower arrangements. Annual. 35-40 seeds/g. Especially attractive to pollinators.
Usually started indoors Feb-April. Minimum germination soil temperature 50 degrees, optimal range 60-85 degrees. Transplant after frost danger has passed.
