Sowing Tips
Soil Temperature
Direct sow or transplant when soil at planting depth holds 60°F for reliable germination and early growth.
Expert Note
Start seeds 7 weeks before your average last spring frost and transplant only after soil reliably warms to about 60°F to keep the currant-style trusses productive.
