For outdoor sowing, wait until May to June, and choose a sunny, well-drained location. Scatter the seeds thinly, pressing them gently into the soil without covering.

Once the seedlings are large enough, transplant them to their final positions, spacing them 30-45 cm apart to allow for proper air circulation.
