ποΈ When to Sow
-
Indoors: Start 6β8 weeks before your last frost.
-
Outdoors: Direct sow after the last frost, once soil warms to 15β20Β°C (59β68Β°F).
-
Prefers warm, sunny conditions and germinates best in mild spring weather.
π± How to Sow Indoors (Recommended for Early Start)
-
Prepare Containers
-
Use seed trays or pots with a light, well-draining seed-starting mix.
-
-
Sow the Seeds
-
Surface sow: Scatter seeds on top of the moist soil.
-
Do not cover with soil β savory seeds need light to germinate.
-
Gently press seeds in to ensure contact with the soil.
-
-
Watering
-
Mist the surface lightly to keep moist.
-
Use a humidity dome or plastic wrap until germination starts.
-
-
Light & Temperature
-
Keep in a warm, bright location (65β70Β°F / 18β21Β°C).
-
Provide 12β14 hours of light daily.
-
Germination time: 10β15 days.
-
πΏ After Germination
-
Remove cover once seedlings appear.
-
Thin or transplant when seedlings have 2β3 true leaves.
-
Harden off for 7β10 days before planting outdoors.
π Outdoor Transplanting / Direct Sowing
-
Full sun is essential.
-
Spacing: Thin or transplant to 6β8 inches (15β20 cm) apart.
-
Soil should be well-drained and slightly sandy; avoid overly rich soil to maintain compact growth and strong flavor.
πΌ Growing Tips
-
Water: Moderate β allow soil to dry slightly between waterings; avoid waterlogging.
-
Feeding: Not usually necessary; too much fertilizer can reduce flavor.
-
Harvesting: Begin once plants are 4β6 inches tall. Regular trimming encourages bushier growth.
-
Blooming: Tiny white to lilac flowers appear mid to late summer; pinch off to extend leaf production if not saving seed.
