Your care routine
Watering
Maintain even moisture, especially while the slow-germinating seeds establish.
Soil & drainage
A deep, compost-enriched bed or container that drains freely.
Temperature
Plan sowing for the crop’s preferred season. Protect young plants and containers from severe frost; local conditions affect timing.
Planting
Sow into a fine seedbed; keep it from crusting. Space established plants so each rosette can expand.
Harvest
Cut outer leaf stems at their base, leaving the young centre to keep growing.
Through the seasons
Some afternoon shade helps during hot weather. This biennial usually flowers in its second year; sow replacements for leaves.
When your plant needs help
- Pick the outer curled leaf stems, keeping the centre intact for a longer harvest.
