Plant in a location that enjoys partial sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Big Mountain is thought of as hardy, so it can be safe to leave outdoors for the majority of winter (although if in doubt, using a row cover is often a good idea). Ideally plant in loamy soil and try to keep the ph of your soil between the range of 5.6 and 6.0 as Big Mountain likes to be in weakly acidic soil.

Growing Big Mountain from seed

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Big Mountain about 35 days before your last frost date.

Transplanting Big Mountain

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