🪴 Growing Conditions:

1. Climate: Prefers cool temperatures (ideal between 50°F–75°F / 10°C–24°C) and is typically grown in spring or fall to avoid heat stress.

2. Light Requirements: Grows best in full sun (6–8 hours daily) but can tolerate light shade, especially in warmer climates.

3. Watering: Keep soil moist but not waterlogged; ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.

4. Soil: Prefers well-drained, slightly alkaline to neutral soil with a pH between 6.0–7.0.

5. Spacing: Plant seeds 1/4 inch deep, spacing them about 6 inches apart for larger leaves or 4 inches for a more compact harvest.

6. Harvesting: Harvest young leaves for the mildest flavor. Once flowers bloom, you can harvest petals for garnish or enjoy the whole plant as part of your edible garden.

🌿 Pro Tip: Regular harvesting of leaves will encourage bushier growth and prolong the harvest period. Deadheading spent flowers will help promote more blooms.
