Try to aim for a seed spacing of at least
11.7 inches (30.0 cm) and sow at a depth of around
0.0 inches (0.01 cm). Soil temperature should be kept higher than
65°C / 149°F to ensure good germination.
By our calculations, you should look at sowing Rainbow about 56 days before your last frost date.
Ensure that temperatures are mild and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as Rainbow is a tender plant.
