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
Maintain steady moisture for tender roots.
Soil & drainage
Fine, humus-rich, well-drained soil.
Temperature
Plan sowing for the crop’s preferred season. Protect young plants and containers from severe frost; local conditions affect timing.
Planting
Direct sow in cool spring or late summer. Thin seedlings so roots can expand freely.
Harvest
Lift at the type’s tender eating size; many small salad types are best before they become large.
Through the seasons
Succession sowings give better quality than leaving one crop to grow woody. Hot weather increases bolting risk.
When your plant needs help
- Repeat short sowings and lift the roots while small and crisp instead of waiting for an oversized storage root.
Pets & little ones
