Growing and Caring for Little Marvel

Starting out is simple. Direct sow in spring about 2–3 weeks before the last frost. For best germination, soak seeds for 24 hours, then plant two seeds about 2 inches deep, spacing 3–4 inches apart in rows roughly 3 feet apart. Keep the soil evenly moist until germination, typically 3–10 days.
