Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:

Soak the seeds in hot water for 24 hours to soften the hard seed coat.

Alternatively, scarify the seeds by gently nicking the seed coat with a knife or sandpaper.

Sowing:

Sow the prepared seeds in seed trays or pots filled with a well-draining seed raising mix.

Plant seeds at a depth of 1/4 inch (6 mm).

Water the soil thoroughly after planting.

Germination:

Maintain a consistent moisture level in the soil.

Place the trays or pots in a warm, bright location with indirect sunlight.

Germination typically takes 2-4 weeks.

Transplanting:

When seedlings are large enough to handle and have developed a few sets of true leaves, transplant them into individual pots.

Gradually acclimate the seedlings to outdoor conditions before planting them in their final location.

Space plants 3-6 feet (1-2 meters) apart, depending on the desired density.

Care and Maintenance:

Water regularly during the establishment period, reducing frequency once established.

Mulch around the base of the plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds.

Prune lightly to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth.

Protect young plants from frost and extreme cold.
