How To Grow

Excellent pest and disease resistance

Generally pest and disease free - can sometimes be susceptible to rust or powdery mildew

Water regularly during dry spells

Water well in dry spells - after an initial watering when planted, it shouldn't be needed in autumn and winter

Full sun

Plant in a sunny spot where the plants will receive 6-8 hours of sunlight per day.

Any fertile, well-drained soil

Herb plants prefer well drained, loamy soils. If your soil is heavy or sandy, mix in some perlite or fine horticultural grit when planting, to improve drainage.
