Transplant outdoors only when nights stay reliably warm. 🌱 Starting Seeds: Lightly nick or soak seeds overnight to speed germination. Plant 1–1.5 cm deep in warm soil. Germination usually 7–21 days. 🌿 Transplanting: Space plants 3–4 feet apart—they get big. Choose rich, well-drained soil. Add compost for maximum growth. 💧 Water: Keep evenly moist during establishment. Once established, they’re surprisingly drought-tolerant. 🌳 Growth Habit: Can reach 5–10 feet in a single season in Ontario’s warm summers.
