How to grow Summer Savory seeds

Choose Your Planting Method

• Indoors: Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date.
• Outdoors: Direct sow after all danger of frost has passed.

Prepare Your Materials

• Seed-starting trays or pots (if indoors)
• Well-draining potting mix
• Spray bottle for misting

Sowing the Seeds

• Sow on the surface of moist seed-starting mix and press gently; do not cover, as seeds need light to germinate.
• Mist to keep the surface evenly moist.

Provide the Right Conditions

• Light: Bright light for germination and seedling growth.
• Temperature: 60-70°F (16-21°C) for germination.

Germination

• Seeds typically germinate in 10-14 days.
• Grow seedlings on in bright light with good air circulation.

Transplanting

• Transplant after all danger of frost, once seedlings have several true leaves.
• Harden off before planting out.
• Thin or space plants 6-12 inches apart.

Care Tips

• Sun: Full sun in well-drained soil.
• Water: Water regularly; allow the top of the soil to dry slightly between waterings.
• Fertilizer: Little fertilizer is needed; too much feeding reduces flavor.
• Begin harvesting once plants reach 6 inches; cut stems just before flowering for the strongest flavor.
