Spacing
Single Plants: 20cm (7") each way (minimum)
Rows: 15cm (5") with 25cm (9") row gap (minimum)
|
Sow and Plant
Usually sow direct into soil in late spring. Perennial herbs need lifting and dividing in autumn.
Our Garden Planning Tool can produce a personalised calendar of when to sow, plant and harvest for your area.
|
Notes
Just a small area will usually provide more than enough, unless growing for decorative reasons or using them to attract beneficial insects to the garden. You can add a variety of this plant to label what it is and specify spacing or planting times.
|
Harvesting
Harvest as required, a few leaves at a time. Can be dried by hanging a bunch in a dry place although some flavour is lost when dried.
