Seeds are sown in spring, in March to April, directly into an outdoor bed to a depth of 2–3 cm. The recommended distance between rows is 50 cm. The germination time of the plant is approximately 3 weeks, but if you soak the seeds in advance, you can shorten the germination time. Plant in a sunny place in good quality organic soil. The seeds for the next season are collected and processed in August after the plant has bloomed.
