Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Frank's is generally regarded as a tender plant, so remember to wait until your soil is warm and the night time temperature is well above freezing before moving outside. Frank's needs a potting mix, loamy and silty soil with a ph of 5.5 to 7.5 (weakly acidic soil to weakly alkaline soil).

Growing Frank's from seed

Try to aim for a seed spacing of at least 0.98 inches (2.5 cm) and sow at a depth of around 0.25 inches (0.64 cm). For optimal germination, soil temperature should be a minimum of 20°C / 68°F.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Frank's about 60 days before your last frost date.

Transplanting Frank's

Frank's is tender, so ensure you wait until all danger of frost has passed in your area before considering planting outside.
