in the ground
Sow lightly, directly in place, in rows 30 cm apart. Cover seeds lightly, keeping soil cool and moist. Thin out when rosettes have formed, leaving one plant every 15-20 cm.
Water regularly to prevent the leaves from hardening or becoming too flavourful. This species prefers a cool spot in the garden.
