Keep in mind when planting that Tricolor 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. Tricolor needs a loamy, sandy and silty soil with a ph of 6.1 to 7.8 (weakly acidic soil to weakly alkaline soil).

Growing Tricolor from seed

Try to aim for a seed spacing of at least 1.46 feet (45.0 cm) and sow at a depth of around 3.9 inches (10.0 cm).
