Getting started
Surface-sow the fine seed in trays, keep it moist and warm to germinate, then transplant without burying the crown.
The right conditions
Choose full sun, fertile free-draining soil and reliable moisture.
As it grows
Water consistently while establishing, keep weeds down and provide support where the mature habit needs it. Watch for local pests and remove damaged growth.
Ready to harvest
Cut outside stalks as needed or lift the whole plant.
