  • Medium

Plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that America 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. Ensure your soil has a ph of between 6.0 and 6.8 as America is a weakly acidic soil loving plant.

Growing America from seed

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.

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

Transplanting America

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