  • Full Sun

  • High

Plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water often. Keep in mind when planting that Honeysweet 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. Honeysweet needs a loamy and clay soil with a ph of 6.5 to 7.5 (weakly acidic soil to weakly alkaline soil).

Growing Honeysweet from seed

Try to aim for a seed spacing of at least 7.8 inches (20.0 cm) and sow at a depth of around 1.17 inches (3.0 cm). Soil temperature should be kept higher than 21°C / 70°F to ensure good germination.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Honeysweet about 14 days after your last frost date.

Transplanting Honeysweet

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