Advice from our agronomist
Planting Plant in spring or autumn in sun or part shade in moist, fertile soil; planting in a bucket or pot keeps its spread in check. Space 30–40 cm.
Watering Water regularly; it prefers moist soil, so water more often in dry spells.
Pruning Cut shoots as needed and the whole plant low in spring or autumn; pinch flower buds for more aromatic leaves.
Feeding and winter care Feed in spring with compost; too much nitrogen reduces aroma. Hardy; in a pot it needs light cover.
