Sow seeds at a depth of 1cm between March and June. The most critical aspect of care for this variety is moisture management; the soil must be kept consistently moist to prevent the stems from becoming woody or bitter. As a hardy biennial, it is well-adapted to the UK environment, but providing a light mulch around the base of the plant can help retain ground moisture during drier spells in the summer months.
