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 seedbed moist, then water moderately through dry spells. Avoid a wet, cold root zone.
Soil & drainage
Loose, well-drained soil in a hot, sheltered position.
Temperature
Frost-tender crop: start with warmth and move outside only after cold weather has passed.
Planting
Sow when soil has warmed; plan a long growing season rather than expecting a fast leaf crop.
Harvest
Let the seed heads mature, then cut and dry them before seeds scatter.
Through the seasons
Seed production needs a long warm season. Protect from late cold and keep ripening seed heads dry.
When your plant needs help
- Allow a long warm season for seed to ripen; do not treat it like a quick cut-and-come-again salad.
Pets & little ones
This guide covers a cultivated garden crop. Confirm the identity and the edible part before harvesting; wash produce and keep unverified plants away from children and pets.
