Description
Strongly aromatic evergreen bush with yellow flowers. Finely chopped leaves can be added to sandwiches and salads. Height 40-60cm.
Sowing Time: August to September.
Sowing Instructions: Surface sow at 2mm deep in pots or trays containing good seed compost. Do not cover the seed as they need light for germination. Make sure the compost is moist but not wet and seal inside a polythene bag until germination which usually takes 7 to 21 days at 20C.
Growing Instructions: Transplant the indoor seedlings when large enough to handle into pots and grow on. Plant them out into their permanent positions in late spring or early summer, after the last expected frosts. Their ideal position would be in full sun, with a fertile soil that is not too wet. Space 30cm (12in). Water regularly until mature.
