• Planting Information:
  When and where to plant: Select a sunny or partially shaded (preferred) location and sow as soon as ground can be worked. Prefers moderately rich, moist soil. Cultivate soil and enrich with vegetable food. Firm soil over seed.
  Care: Keep soil moist. Spreads rapidly if left untended.
  Harvesting: Cut frequently for better growth. When drying, cut stems 1 inch above base before flowers open and hang upside down in warm, dark, well-ventilated place. Pick leaves when dry and store in airtight container.
