A full sun position will ensure your plant thrives and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Pixie is thought of as hardy, so Pixie will tend to go dormant or grow slowly over the winter months. Pixie tends to grow best in a soil ph of between 6.0 and 7.5 meaning it does best in weakly acidic soil - weakly alkaline soil.

Growing Pixie from seed

Look to ensure a distance 3.12 inches (8.0 cm) between seeds when sowing - bury at a depth of at least 0.47 inches (1.2 cm) deep. Soil temperature should be kept higher than 4°C / 39°F to ensure good germination.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Pixie about 45 days before your last frost date.

Transplanting Pixie

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