Sow in pots at a temperature of between 18 and 20°C, 2 to 3 weeks before planting. Transplant, with the root ball, into the ground, after the last frosts, at a distance of at least 2 m in all directions. For sowing directly into the ground, sow after the last frosts, once the soil has warmed up. In both cases, prepare holes filled with compost or organic matter two weeks in advance to accommodate your plants or seeds.

This ancient Native American variety, also known as "Pike's Peak", was handed down by Mrs. Van Dinam, who had been growing it in Missouri since 1840. It was introduced commercially by H. Sibley of Rochester, New York, in 1887.
