  • Sowing: Sow indoors in spring or direct in autumn/early spring. Cover seeds lightly. Thin or space plants 45–60 cm apart.
  • Care: Keep well-watered, especially in the first year. Mulch to retain moisture. Divide mature plants every 3–4 years.
  • Harvest: Dig roots in autumn of the second or third year for strongest potency. Flowers can be picked for arrangements or drying.
