Care Instructions:

• Sowing Location: Sow seeds outdoors directly where they are to grow into finely raked, weed-free soil from spring through to mid-summer. For container growing, scatter the seeds thinly across the surface of premium, moist compost.
• Watering Requirements: Maintain regular and even watering to keep the soil or compost consistently moist. Consistent moisture is vital to keep the leaves tender and prevent the plants from turning bitter or bolting early.
• Harvesting Advice: Snip individual leaves from the outside of the plants as required, or cut the entire clump down to approximately 2cm above the soil line to encourage a fresh, rapid flush of new growth.
