How to Grow

Direct sow in a sunny site every two weeks starting in mid-spring through to mid-summer as long as temperature remains cool. Keep evenly watered. Grows best in cooler weather. Ideal for stir-fries or salads. Harvest by cutting plants off at their base with a sharp knife. Plants will bolt (produce a flower stock) rapidly with the arrival of warmer weather so monitor plants closely as summer heat builds in. When plants bolt, their great taste and enticing texture are quickly lost.
