Try to plant in a location that enjoys partial sun and remember to water often.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Cimarron about 60 days before your last frost date.

Transplanting Cimarron

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