Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water often. Keep in mind when planting that Checkered Choice is thought of as tender, so remember to wait until your soil is warm and the night time temperature is well above freezing before moving outside. Checkered Choice requires a loamy and clay soil with a ph of 6.5 - 7.5 - it grows best in weakly acidic soil to weakly alkaline soil.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Checkered Choice about 10 days after your last frost date.

Ensure that temperatures are mild and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as Checkered Choice is a tender plant.
