How to Grow Heal All Seeds
Start Heal All seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before your last frost date, or direct sow outdoors in early spring or fall.
Use a light, well-draining seed-starting mix.

Seeds typically germinate within 7–21 days.
Once seedlings emerge, provide bright light and good air circulation.
Transplant seedlings when they have 2–3 true leaves.
Harden off plants before planting outdoors.
Space plants 8–12 inches apart in full sun to partial shade.
