Your care routine
Watering
Water young plants regularly; established plants prefer a drained root zone rather than wet soil.
Soil & drainage
A sunny, freely draining bed or pot.
Temperature
Plan sowing for the crop’s preferred season. Protect young plants and containers from severe frost; local conditions affect timing.
Planting
Surface sow fine seed with warmth and light. Set sturdy seedlings out in warm weather with about 25 cm spacing.
Harvest
Snip leafy stems; cut back flowering shoots to encourage fresh foliage.
Through the seasons
Protect container roots in severe winter weather. Trim lightly rather than leaving old, tangled flowering stems.
