Planting & Care
Planting & Care
Soil & Water:Plant prefers full sun, fertile soil, and regular watering.
Planting & Growing: Sow in spring. Barely cover seed, tamping firmly and keeping evenly moist, warm and in the light until germination. Thin or transplant to 1 foot apart. Can be kept in pots.
Harvesting & Storage: Harvesting of leaves (beginning at 40 days) should be done throughout the season to encourage regrowth. Unless desiring to collect seed (at least 120 days after seeding), cut off flowers before forming as they will change taste of leaves. Dry, freeze or use harvest fresh.
