How to Use (Planting Guide)

1. **Sowing:** For best results, it is recommended to start seeds in trays and then transplant the seedlings into your garden.

3. **Transplanting:** Once seedlings are established, transplant them into your garden, ensuring they are spaced approximately 20 x 20 cm apart to allow room for the rosettes to flatten and spread.
