Growing Information
Planting:
Sow indoors in vermiculite 6-8 weeks before last frost. Keep at 65-75°F. Or you can direct sow at last spring frost date. Plant 3 - 5 mm deep and space 30 - 45 cm apart. Plan in full sun in well drained soil.
Harvesting:
Harvest the flowers as they appear for use in salads or dyes. Leaves can be harvested individually if desired, take the tops off the branches to encourage more branching. For full harvest snip branches from the main stem at the end of the season bunch and hang to dry in a warm dark area. Strip the leaves from the stems and store in airtight dark containers for later use.
