Growing Sobolchski 15 from seed

Start the seed indoors, 6-8 weeks before the last frost in your area. Press the seed lightly onto the soil surface and do not bury it, because it needs light to germinate. Keep the soil moist and hold the temperature at about 75 degrees F (24 degrees C). Under these conditions germination typically takes 7-14 days. Covering the seed with soil would work against it, so a light press that brings it into contact with the surface is enough.

• Sowing time: indoors, 6-8 weeks before the last frost
• Depth: on the surface, pressed in lightly and left uncovered
• Temperature: about 75 degrees F (24 degrees C)
• Moisture: keep the soil moist
• Germination: typically 7-14 days

Transplanting and care

Move the seedlings outdoors only after the last frost has passed. Set the plants 2-3 feet apart in full sun, in fertile, well-drained soil. At 4-5 feet tall, Sobolchski 15 needs that room so its broad leaves can open without crowding the neighbouring plants. The variety does best in a warm, sunny climate, so give it the brightest, warmest spot you have. Water regularly and feed occasionally through the growing season, until the pink flowers open in late summer. Plan the bed before you sow, since the spacing and the full sun requirement decide where the plants can go.
