Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Druzba 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. Druzba needs a loamy soil with a ph of 5.0 to 6.0 (moderately acidic soil to weakly acidic soil).

Try to aim for a seed spacing of at least 0.78 inches (2.0 cm) and sow at a depth of around 0.78 inches (2.0 cm). Soil temperature should be kept higher than 12°C / 54°F to ensure good germination.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Druzba about 42 days before your last frost date.

Transplanting Druzba

Plant to the first set of true leaves to promote strong root growth.

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