Bred to be slow to run to seed and to create uniform bushy plants that are perfectly suited to 'cut and come again' cropping.
Features: Bushy plants are vigorous and bred to be slow bolting.
Sowing Guide - Indoors: Grow indoors sow 0.5cm (1/4") deep, thinly in small pots of compost. Water well and place in a warm position. A temperature of 15-20oC (60-68oF) is ideal. Plants can be grown on a light windowsill.
Sowing Guide - Outdoors: Sow outdoors thinly where they are to crop, 0.5cm (1/4") deep directly into finely prepared soil which has already been watered. Seedlings usually appear in 14-21 days. Thin seedlings to 20cm (8") apart. Water well until plants are established. For a continous supply, make sowings at two to three weekly intervals.
Soil Type: Well drained, fertile
Position: Full sun
Hints & Tips: Can be used in curries, chutneys or salads - when cooking, add the bruised leaves at the last minute to retain maximum flavour.
