Growing tips
Conditions of germination:
- depth of sowing: 5 mm
- optimal temperatures for germination: 21 to 27ºC
- time for germination: 7 to 14 days
When to sow:
- Sow indoors 6 to 8 weeks before the last frost date in your area.
Sowing technique: in pocket
Inside the same hole, sow 3 to 5 seeds spaced 1 to 2 cm apart; when the seeds have germinated and the seedlings have reached a height of 5 cm, keep all the seedlings if space is available or keep only the most beautiful ones. Transplant into individual containers and wait until the plant has produced two true leaves before transplanting into the garden.
Transplanting outdoors:
- Transplant after the last frost, when the soil is warm.
Distance in the garden:
- between plants: 45 cm
- between rows: 90 cm
Height of plants: 45 to 60 cm
Soil: rich and well drained
Exposure: full sun
Harvest time (after transplanting to the garden): 70 to 80 days
Specificity: The ground cherry is an annual plant that reseeds itself, so it can be found the following year in the garden, but not always where it was planted the previous year.
