Germination usually occurs in 14-21 days.
Transplanting Seedlings
Once seedlings have developed a few sets of leaves and the danger of frost has passed, transplant them outdoors. Choose a location with full sun to partial shade and well-draining soil. Space plants 12-18 inches apart to allow for proper air circulation and healthy growth.
Watering

Temperature
