ID: 63936 | Planting Tip: Can start indoors 4-6 weeks before last frost. Prefers full sun to part shade in rich, well-drained soil. Thin seedlings to 15-20 cm apart. Harvesting Tip: Harvest young leaves in early spring before flowering for mildest flavor. Harvest flowers when fully open for culinary use. Dig roots in fall of the first year or spring of the second for maximum potency. Storage Tip: Dry leaves and flowers in a cool, dark place for tea. Roots can be dried, frozen, or pickled. Store dried material in airtight containers away from light. |
