Care essentials
Grow in full sun to part shade; in NE Florida's intense summer heat, provide afternoon shade or shade cloth to prevent bolting — plant only in the cool season (October through February).
Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, watering about 1 inch per week using drip or soaker irrigation; avoid wetting foliage to reduce mildew risk.
Amend beds with compost for fertility and moisture retention; feed every 4 weeks with a nitrogen-rich fertilizer during the cool growing season.
