Germination & Sowing: Seeds take 7-14 days to germinate at 15-20°C. Sow 0.5 cm deep in spring, either indoors for early start or directly outdoors.
Soil & Light: Thrive in full sun to partial shade and well-drained, fertile, slightly acidic to neutral soil (pH 6.0-7.0).
Spacing: Space plants or thin seedlings 6–12 inches (15-30 cm) apart to allow for clump expansion.
Growth Habit: As perennials, they die back in harsh winters but regrow in spring. They reach maturity in 60-90 days.
Care: Keep soil consistently moist, but not waterlogged. Divide clumps every 3 years to maintain vigor.
Usage: Popular in salads, potatoes, and soups, they are best used fresh or frozen, as they do not dry well
Companion Planting: Excellent for repelling pests like carrot fly and protecting roses from black spot.
