Materials
Care
- Sowing: Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost, as the seeds are very small.
- Depth: Press seeds into the surface of the soil, as they need light to germinate. Do not cover.
- Spacing: Transplant outdoors after the danger of frost has passed, spacing plants 12-15 inches apart.
- Light Requirement: Full Sun.
- Soil: Prefers average, very well-draining soil. Do not overwater.
- Harvest: Begin harvesting leaves once the plant is well-established. Flavor is best before the plant flowers.
Keep unused seeds dry and cool in a clearly labeled, closed container. Protect the packet from humidity and temperature swings, and retain the variety name and sowing notes for your next planting. Use the species-specific directions below when deciding whether to start indoors, sow directly, soak seeds, or provide a cold period. Germination and growth vary with seed handling and local growing conditions.
For general seed-starting and storage guidance, see University of Minnesota Extension’s seed-starting guide. Use the variety-specific packet directions for this product.
