Sow direct or into trays year-round in most NZ regions, though spring and autumn are ideal. Sow seeds 1–2 cm deep, thinning to 30–40 cm apart. Prefers a sunny position in rich, moist, well-drained soil. Water regularly and feed with a nitrogen-rich fertiliser to encourage lush, colourful growth. Harvest outer leaves from the base as needed — the plant will keep producing new growth from the centre.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e💡 \u003cstrong\u003eGrower's tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e The more you pick, the more it grows!
