Look to ensure a distance
0.98 inches (2.5 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
13°C / 55°F to ensure good germination.
By our calculations, you should look at sowing French Dressing about 28 days before your last frost date.
Ensure that temperatures are mild and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as French Dressing is a half hardy plant.
