Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that One Ball 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. One Ball requires a loamy soil with a ph of 5.6 - 7.5 - it grows best in weakly acidic soil to weakly alkaline soil.

Growing One Ball from seed

Look to ensure a distance 1.46 feet (45.0 cm) between seeds when sowing - bury at a depth of at least 0.98 inches (2.5 cm) deep. Soil temperature should be kept higher than 18°C / 64°F to ensure good germination.

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

Transplanting One Ball

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