Candy Stripe requires a loamy and sandy soil with a ph of 5.5 - 7.0 - it grows best in weakly acidic soil to neutral soil.

Look to ensure a distance 11.7 inches (30.0 cm) between seeds when sowing - bury at a depth of at least 0.25 inches (0.64 cm) deep.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Candy Stripe about 21 days before your last frost date.

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