Chandler Scarlet likes a position of full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Chandler Scarlet is thought of as tender, so it is really important to ensure that the outside temperature is well above freezing before planting or moving outdoors. Chandler Scarlet requires a loamy and clay soil with a ph of 6.0 - 6.8 - it grows best in weakly acidic soil.

Look to ensure a distance 3.9 inches (10.0 cm) between seeds when sowing - bury at a depth of at least 1.95 inches (5.0 cm) deep. Soil temperature should be kept higher than 16°C / 61°F to ensure good germination.
