CHIA SEEDS (Salvia hispanica) |
Chia plant is a member of the mint family and it has been cultivated for nearly 5,000 years. The seeds are very nutritionally dense containing high levels of easily digestible protein, omega-3 fatty acids, dietary fiber, antioxidants, calcium, iron, and many more nutrients. Chia plants grow 24 - 36 inches (60 - 90 cm) tall and produce many clusters of white or light-purple flowers in mid to late summer. Chia prefers a location providing full sun and that has sandy or loamy, well-drained soils. Be careful not to over water chia plants. It is a tender perennial and will not tolerate frost. Since it requires a fairly long season to produce seed, starting indoors and transplanting after all danger of frost has passed is required. SOWING: Sow indoors: March - May Season: Annual Height 24 - 36 inches (60 - 90 cm) Bloom Season: July - September Bloom Colour: Purple / blue Environment: Full sun Temperature: 20 - 25 C (70 - 77 F) Light Required: Yes Depth: 1/8 inch (0.3 cm) Moisture: Keep soil slightly moist but not wet Plant Spacing: 24 inches (60 cm) |
