Sow in pots or slabs at a temperature of 10-18°C, one month before planting. Cover the seeds with a thin layer of soil, press lightly and water. Once the plants have 4 leaves, prick out. Alternatively, sow in rows 30 cm apart, every 15 days, to stagger harvesting. Thin to 10 cm, then 30 cm. This type of sowing produces hardier plants, less susceptible to bolting.
This variety can be grown in all seasons and is slow to bolt.

This variety was bred by Frank Morton in Oregon. It's one of his favorites. It is the result of a triple cross involving "Reine des Glaces", "Merlot" and "Flashy Troutback".
