These seeds require light to germinate and they are best started in pots, but you can sow them directly in your garden in late spring once temperatures stay in the mid 70's.
The seeds are very tiny so it's best to mix them with sand and use a small shaker to distribute. For pots or trays start with pre-moistened potting mix and distribute the seed and sand mix on the top of your pot. These need light and warmth to germinate so expose to a light source and keep in the 70's during the germination process. They dislike being disturbed while germinating so water from below and once seedlings are around 3" tall slowly introduce them into your garden in spring after your last frost.
You can also direct seed in spring by mixing your seed packet with sand and using the shaker method in your garden bed.
