Summer Savory - Key Growing Information
DAYS TO GERMINATION:
Seedlings appear in 7–14 days at 65–70°F (18–21°C).
SOWING:
To sow in place, plant after the last frost at 1–2 seeds per inch, sowing shallow since the seed needs light. Keep the soil moist until it comes up, then thin to 8" apart in rows 18" apart, and keep young seedlings well watered. For transplants, start indoors in early spring, ideally at 86°F (30°C) by day and 68°F (20°C) at night. Press seed onto the surface of the mix without covering it, since it needs light, and mist to keep it moist until it sprouts. Move seedlings into their own containers at 4 true leaves, and plant out 8" apart after the last frost.
LIGHT PREFERENCE:
Full sun.
SOIL REQUIREMENTS:
Does best in medium-rich sandy soil.
PLANT HEIGHT:
Grows about 5–7" tall.
PLANT SPACING:
Space plants 8" apart.
HARDINESS ZONES:
Grown as an annual.
HARVEST:
Cut for fresh use once plants are established; whole plants can be harvested when the flowers are still in bud. To dry, hang plants somewhere warm, dark and airy.
