Direct sow a few weeks before the last frost as it tolerates frost and grows well in cooler conditions. Cover lightly with a scant amount of soil. Tolerates a wide variety of conditions from shade to full sun, but prefers well-drained soil. Great for a more untamed area of the garden such as a border. Seed specs: Packet size- .5 oz.
