  • Germination Period: Seeds typically germinate within 7–14 days at temperatures between 18–22°C.
  • Hardiness/Life Cycle: This variety is a hardy perennial.
  • Plant Spacing: Space plants 40 cm apart to ensure adequate growth.
  • Plant Height: Plants can reach a height of up to 60 cm.

Additional Cultivation Tips:

  • Soil Preparation: Ensure soil is well-drained and slightly alkaline, with a pH between 6.0 and 7.5.
