Growing Information

Days to germination

About 10–14 days.

Direct sowing

Recommended. In early spring, sow 1–2 seeds to the inch and barely cover them, since light helps. Thin to 6" in rows 12" or more apart. You can also sow in fall, about 60 days before first frost.

Starting indoors

Start about 8 weeks ahead of your last frost, pressing seed in or dusting it with vermiculite. Move to cell trays once seedlings can be handled, and plant out once the last frost has passed, 6" apart, with rows 12" apart.

Plant spacing

6".

Soil

Rich, moist soil.

Light

Full sun or part shade. Hot weather makes plants bolt.

Harvest

Pick leaves just before plants start to flower, when flavor peaks; use fresh or dried.

Hardiness

Annual.

Plant height

10–16".

Packet

200 seeds.

Seeds per oz.

About 12,400 on average.
