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 moderately moist. Water at the roots; dense wet foliage encourages mildew.
Soil & drainage
Fertile, well-drained soil with room for the taproot.
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; thin rather than transplant crowded seedlings. Leave about 15 cm between plants.
Harvest
Snip fresh fronds while retaining growing shoots. Leave a few flower heads to ripen if collecting seed.
Through the seasons
Tall flowering stems may need support. Repeat sowings rather than expecting an aging plant to provide tender leaves indefinitely.
When your plant needs help
- Allow space and support for stems that can approach 2 m when growing for seed.
Pets & little ones
