Planting Guide

Sowing Time: Sow outdoors in early‑spring once frost danger passes; you may also start seeds indoors 4‑6 weeks before spring thaw
Soil Requirement: Choose loose, fast‑draining soil with pH 6.5‑7.5; add organic compost to improve soil fertility
Sowing Depth: Cover tiny seeds with an ultra‑thin 0.3‑0.8 cm soil layer, avoid deep burial
Seedling Spacing: Thin seedlings and reserve 8‑12 cm space between plants, 30 cm gap for planting rows
Light Condition: Full‑sun planting spot with over six hours of direct sunlight every day
Watering: Keep topsoil mildly moist in germination stage; water moderately, drain accumulated rainwater to stop root rot
Fertilizer: Apply low‑dose balanced organic fertilizer in the leaf‑growing stage; heavy fertilizer causes excessive leaf growth
Harvest: Collect dry black seeds once seed pods turn dry papery‑brown, then thresh and clean the ripe seeds

Home‑grown medicinal herb for homemade herbal tea and daily wellness use
Ornamental flowering herb for kitchen herb gardens and balcony planters
