Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Gnom 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.

Growing Gnom from seed

Sow 0.78 inches (2.0 cm) deep with a guideline distance of 1.30 feet (40.0 cm). Soil temperature should be kept higher than 18°C / 64°F to ensure good germination.

Transplanting Gnom

As Gnom is tender, ensure temperatures are mild enough to plant out - wait until after your last frost date to be on the safe side.
