Space seeds evenly in rows or scatter thinly for a natural look, then cover lightly with soil. Keep the soil moist until germination occurs. Thin seedlings as they grow to allow room for healthy leaf development. Regular harvesting by cutting leaves encourages fresh growth and extends the harvesting period from May through November. This colorful blend thrives in full sun to partial shade, making it perfect for continuous sowing throughout the growing season.
