What to do when your plants arrive

  1. Unpack them. Your seedlings will arrive carefully packed in bio-degradable straw, cardboard and paper. They may look a little bit bedraggled from their journey. Don’t panic – this is totally normal and they should soon perk up. Please try and unpack your plants as soon as they arrive, as every extra hour they spend in the box will add to the stress of travelling to their new home.
  2. Give them a drink. Having spent a day or two in the post, your new plants will be thirsty! Stand them up in some fresh water for a few minutes to make sure their roots have been thoroughly soaked before planting.
  3. Plant them out into their forever home! Your plants can’t wait to get their roots into the soil. Plant them out according to the instructions that will have come in the box with them. Make sure you water them in well, and give them plenty to drink until their roots have had a chance to get settled.

Planning your site

These plants love being on the drier side and sunny. Will tolerate partial shade in summer. Think Korean mountains for site planning, but they aren’t too fussy so you can experiment. Will self seed, which is great as you can dig them up and give them to friends!

Growing tips

Harvest when leaves are around 10cm long. Will flower in August through October, unless stems are cut early in the summer.

What to watch out for

Generally pest free. Pollinating insects love it as its a late flowerer.
