When to grow

How to grow

Sow indoors before the last frosts. Transplant seedlings outdoors when the weather warms, spacing them 1 1/2 to 2 feet apart. Sow 12mm (½in) deep. When the seedlings are large enough to handle, they can be planted out or potted on. Transplant the plants outdoors once established, after the last frost date. Regular using and cutting of plants early in the season helps to develop a compact growth. In the winter cut plants down to the ground to induce fresh growth. Needs divided every 1-2 years. Sprigs can be harvested 7 to 10 weeks after planting and then throughout the summer/autumn

Tips

• Seeds are fragile and should always be stored in a cool dry place that avoids direct sunlight. 
• Suitable for beds, borders, rockeries and wildlife gardens.
• Not ideally suited to containers/pots.
• Wait until frosts have passed if sowing outside.
• Can be used to make flavoured vinegars, mustards and butters.
