A space where it can thrive
Grow as a cultivated garden crop in a bed or suitably sized container. The illustrated nursery pot is a presentation, not a recommendation for the mature plant’s root space.
Ask about availabilityAvailability, size, pot and price will be confirmed in store. Pictures illustrate the plant type.

Your care routine
Watering
Keep soil consistently moist without making it stagnant.
Soil & drainage
A fertile, well-drained bed that stays cool.
Temperature
Plan sowing for the crop’s preferred season. Protect young plants and containers from severe frost; local conditions affect timing.
Planting
Direct sow shallowly in cool weather. Avoid disturbing the roots with repeated transplanting.
Harvest
Cut fresh leafy shoots once plants are established; repeat sowings for a continuous supply.
Through the seasons
Afternoon shade helps delay bolting. Replace flowering plants with a new sowing rather than expecting the old crop to recover.
When your plant needs help
- Grow in cool conditions with afternoon shade and direct sow; heat rapidly ends the leaf harvest.
Pets & little ones
