Note: Germination instructions are not on seed packets, follow the instructions below for starting seed.
Seeds should be sown in early spring by planting them 1/4 - 1/2" deep, and six inches apart. When the plants are several inches high, thin the seedlings to 8'-12" apart. The plants will grow into fairly sizable clumps, anywhere from 16" - 24" high, and will produce tangy, edible leaves approximately four months after thinning. Remove the rust red flowers when they appear in summer by cutting the flowering stem, or the plant will put its energy into seed, not leaf, production.
