  • Full Sun

  • Medium

Plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Yellow is thought of as very hardy, so this plant will tend to survive through freezing conditions. Ideally plant in loamy, clay and sandy soil and try to keep the ph of your soil between the range of 6.0 and 7.0 as Yellow likes to be in weakly acidic soil to neutral soil.

Growing Yellow from seed

Try to aim for a seed spacing of at least 1.95 inches (5.0 cm) and sow at a depth of around 0.98 inches (2.5 cm). Soil temperature should be kept higher than 13°C / 55°F to ensure good germination.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Yellow about 28 days before your last frost date.

Transplanting Yellow

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

Harvesting Yellow

This variety tends to be ready for harvesting by early autumn.
