Start indoors eight weeks before last frost
Sow 0.2 inches (0.5 cm) deep with a guideline distance of 1.95 feet (60.0 cm). Soil temperature should be kept higher than 15°C / 59°F to ensure good germination.By our calculations, you should look at sowing Antigua about 42 days before your last frost date.
Carefully harden off seedlings before setting out into the garden.
As Antigua is tender, ensure temperatures are mild enough to plant out - wait until after your last frost date to be on the safe side.
