Your care routine
Watering
Allow the top layer of soil to dry before watering. Avoid a wet crown.
Soil & drainage
A sunny, freely draining bed or container.
Temperature
Plan sowing for the crop’s preferred season. Protect young plants and containers from severe frost; local conditions affect timing.
Planting
Start seed shallowly in a warm, bright place; allow about 45–60 cm for a mature plant.
Harvest
Snip leafy stems gently, leaving healthy shoots for regrowth.
Through the seasons
Prune lightly in spring and after flowering. Avoid cutting back into bare old wood; protect container roots during severe cold.
When your plant needs help
- Keep the crown drained, especially in winter; harvest lightly from a young plant.
