Cultivation: Prepare fertile, well-drained soil. In mild climate areas, sow seeds in spring after last frost to fall in a sunny location. To avoid bolting in cool areas, wait to plant until weather warms. Keep soil moist. Fertilize as needed. Harvest main stalk when it reaches 8-10” tall and 2-3 flowers are open. After cutting the top, the plant branches freely for an extended harvest.
