Planting Instructions: Start indoors 3–4 weeks before last frost or direct sow after frost once soil has warmed. Sow seeds 0.5 cm deep in moist, well-drained soil and keep under bright light. Seeds typically germinate in 7–14 days.

Harden off seedlings before transplanting outdoors in a warm, sunny location. Space plants 20–30 cm apart. Sesame thrives in heat and prefers consistently warm conditions with well-drained soil.
