Try to plant in a location that enjoys partial sun and remember to water moderately. Argonaut is generally regarded as a tender plant, so remember to wait until your soil is warm and the night time temperature is well above freezing before moving outside. Argonaut needs a soil ph of 6.1 to 7.5 (weakly acidic soil - weakly alkaline soil).

Growing Argonaut from seed

Try to aim for a seed spacing of at least 2.28 feet (70.0 cm) and sow at a depth of around 1.17 inches (3.0 cm). For optimal germination, soil temperature should be a minimum of 15°C / 59°F.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Argonaut about 10 days before your last frost date.
