Growing Instructions
Start seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost date. Sow shallowly in warm, moist seed-starting mix and provide plenty of light. Transplant seedlings outdoors after frost risk has passed and once plants have been hardened off. Choose rich, well-drained soil amended with compost and provide sturdy support such as a trellis or cage, as Sungold is an enthusiastic climber. Water consistently at the base of the plant, avoiding leaf wetness, and mulch to retain moisture. Regular harvesting encourages continued production, and trust us—you’ll be harvesting a lot.
