FAST FACTS Name: Hyssop Seeds Botanical Name: Agastache officinalis, foeniculum, rugosa. Life Cycle: Perennial Light Requirement: Full Sun Planting Season: Spring Features: Heirloom, Attracts Pollinators, Medicinal, Container Garden Days to Maturity: Harvest July – November Plant Spacing: 6-12 inches Planting Depth: 1/4 inch Sowing Method: Direct Sow Cold Stratification: Yes Ships: Year Round HOW TO GROW HYSSOP (Agastache) Starting seeds indoors Like many other perennials, agastache seeds need to go through a process called stratification in order to help them germinate. This just means that you’re going to mimic the cold temperatures of winter to weaken the seed coat so water can get through. Do this by getting your soilless growing medium damp and placing the seeds on top of it. If you have a large refrigerator, you can go ahead and put the growing mix and seeds in a tray. Otherwise, place them both in a plastic bag to save on space. Make sure your seeds and soil are covered with plastic, then put them in your refrigerator for a month. You can check on them halfway through to make sure the soil is still damp. Remove your seeds after the month is up. If you didn’t plant them in your trays, go ahead and do that now by placing seeds on top of the soil. Press the seeds in, but don’t cover them at all (they need light to germinate). Cover your trays with plastic domes to keep moisture in, and set them under grow lights or by a sunny window. Seeds should germinate in about 2 weeks but can take up to a month. Keeping your seedlings well-watered as they grow is important, but you don’t want to overdo it. Water just before the soil dries out, and run a fan every so often to help prevent fungal diseases like damping off. Once your seedlings sprout, remove the plastic domes and keep them under grow lights. Water as needed to keep the soil from drying out and run a fan a few times a day for good air circulation. When your seedlings are about 4 inches tall, you can harden them off by taking them outside during the day and bringing them back in at night. After a week of doing this, they are ready to go in your garden Growing from Seed Outdoors You can also skip a few steps by directly sowing your agastache seeds outdoors in the spring. Just keep in mind that directly sown plants will take longer to bloom than ones started indoors. Seeds should be planted after the danger of frost has passed in the spring. Get them ready a month ahead of time by putting them through the cold stratification process explained above. After your last frost date, choose the area where you want to plant your seeds and clear it of weeds and debris. Rake the surface smooth to give yourself a place to sow seeds. Then, scatter your seeds on top of the soil and press them in gently. Water the area where you planted seeds and keep it from drying out while they germinate. Germination should happen in 2-4 weeks. Planting seeds outdoors is easier but plants will be behind those started early indoors. Fall Planting For a really hands-off approach, sow seeds in fall and let them sprout on their own in the spring. WE SHIP FAST &FREE! Your orders ship the next business date after payment via US mail.

Welcome you to Smartbuyforever! We are a leading Seeds provider for many years! We provide fresh and high-quality Heirlooms seeds, NON-GMO and organic seeds to home gardeners and other’s Growers! Our main offerings: Hundreds of heirloom, rare, beautiful flowers and Herbs and Vegetables seeds. Especially we provide hard to find Herb and flowers seeds! HYSSOP SEEDS (Hyssopus officinalis) Qty: 800 Seeds Hyssop blooms in spikes of blue, pink and red flowers and it attracts pollinators to the garden. This flowering herb is commonly grown for its leaves. Sowing: Hyssop thrives in light, well drained soil and full sun or partial shade, and should be planted after the last frost of spring. It can also be planted in late fall for spring germination. Since the seeds need light to germinate, sow them on the surface of the soil 6″ apart and thin them to 12″ when the seedlings appear. Germination may take as long as 3-4 weeks. For companion planting benefits, plant hyssop near cabbages or grapevines, but not radishes. Hyssop also makes an excellent border, hedge, or container plant because of its attractive blooms and bushy, compact growing habit; this herb attracts many bees, hummingbirds, and butterflies. Growing: Do not over water, since this herb prefers slightly dry soil. Hyssop resists nearly all pests and diseases. Before the spring growth, prune the plant heavily for healthy, tender new stems. Harvesting: Harvest leaves for fresh use as soon as they reach a desirable size. The best time for harvesting is the morning after the dew has dried. Though both the leaves and flowers can be used as an herb or a flavoring, the flavor of the leaves is stronger than that of the flowers. Entire stalks can be harvested as soon as the flowers begin to open, and hung upside down to dry; they should be dried quickly and away from direct sunlight. Once dried, remove the leaves and flowers from the stem and store in an airtight container. Seed Saving: In the late summer, the flowers will fade and the seeds begin to develop. Remove the stalks individually as they ripen, and spread them out to dry away from direct sunlight. Shake them to remove the seed. Store the seed in a cool, dry place.

Our dealers can help you develop a custom braising mix for your specific market or growing region. This blend is used for multiple picking in home gardens. This very healthy alternative to lettuce blends is becoming very popular.Seed Type: BlendRow Spacing: 12-18″Sow Depth: 1/8″Open-pollinatedFull Sun / Partial ShadeContainer FriendlyAnnualPlant Spacing: 8-10″Days To Maturity (# Days): 53 Days Lettuce is a cool-season crop, and seedlings can tolerate a light frost. Lettuce grows quickly, so stagger the plantings. It is recommended to sow the lettuce seeds directly into the garden as soon as the soil can be worked.Before Planting: Lettuce is hardy and can be planted as early as the soil can be worked. It is a cool weather crop and grows best at temperatures of 60-65°F. Careful variety selection is important for hot weather plantings. Sow every 3 weeks for a continuous supply of fresh lettuce. Lettuce seed can enter thermal dormancy when exposed to high temperatures. Do not use a heat mat when germinating lettuce seed. Optimum germination results at soil temperatures of 60–65°F.Planting: For direct seeding, seeds germinate at low soil temperatures (40°F), but poorly above 75°F. Sow seeds 2-3″ apart, rows 12–18″ apart. Cover seed lightly, about 1/8″, and firm soil gently. Thin iceberg and romaine lettuce to one plant every 10–12″, other types 8–10″ for full size heads or 6″ for mini heads. Dry soil must be watered to ensure coolness and moisture, and for uniform germination. For transplanting, sow 2-3 seeds per cell, 1/4″ deep, 3-4 weeks before transplanting outdoors. Do not let soil above 70F while germinating so keep out of sun and a cool, dark location. Harden seedlings by reducing water and temperature for 2–3 days before planting outdoors. Properly hardened transplants can survive temperatures as low as 20°F. Transplant iceberg and romaine lettuce 10–12″ apart, in rows 18″ apart. Other types 8–10″ apart in rows 12–18″ apart for full size heads or 6″ apart for mini heads.Watering: Water lettuce once to twice per week or every 4 days whenever rainfall is inadequate.Fertilizer: Lettuce is typically a care-free plant, but you can fertilize the soil with an organic fertilizer one week prior to planting the seeds. Lettuce grows best in soil that is high in humus. Fertilize three weeks after transplanting seedlings with an alfalfa meal or a slow-release fertilizer.Days to Maturity: Lettuce can be picked whenever real leaves form. Pick when the leaves are younger rather than waiting so the taste doesn’t become bitter. (See each variety for days to maturity)Harvesting: For heads of lettuce, cut the plant at the soil line to harvest it. For leaf lettuces, you can harvest the entire plant or only the outer leaves as needed. Harvest in the morning. Store in cool, dark and high humidity location for up to 2-3 weeks.Tips: Plant lettuce near taller plants, like tomatoes, so the leaves are in the shade during the hot parts of the day.PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS: LETTUCE BRAISING MIX PLANTING SEASON: Cool Season SOWING METHOD: Direct Sow LIGHT REQUIREMENT: Full Sun, Partial Shade PLANTING DEPTH: 1/8 inch PLANT SPACING: 4 to 16 inches WATER NEEDS: Average HARDINESS ZONES: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 DAYS TO MATURITY: 30 to 60 days When to Plant Lettuce SeedsLettuces are a cool season crop and planting in the heat of summer should be avoided, but many varieties mature quickly and often more than one crop can be harvested in spring and late summer.Where to Plant Lettuce SeedsLettuce does best in full sun, however, if you live in a hot climate then some shade will benefit your lettuce. Find an area that has well-draining soil.How to Plant Lettuce SeedsStart lettuce seeds indoors or out, by sprinkling seeds in rows or in containers, and covering with a layer of soil. If starting indoors, cover containers with a plastic bag to create a greenhouse effect and keep warm. Sprouts should appear within a week to 10 days. Once sprouted, remove the plastic and provide plenty of light. Once seedlings have a few sets of true leaves, transplant to individual containers. Harden off seedlings about a week before transplanting out of doors. In outdoor beds, either thin or place transplants to desired spacing. We recommend approximately 4 inches apart for leaf lettuce varieties, 8 inches apart for loose-head types, and 16 inches for firm-head types. How to Harvest LettuceHarvest your lettuce when it is full size but not quite mature. You can remove the outer leaves to harvest and leave the inner leaves to grow. You can pull up the entire plant or cut it off if it is a Butterhead and Romaine variety, or you can pick it when the center is firm if it is a Crisphead variety. *The crisper the lettuce head, the less heat tolerant they will be. Lettuces can tolerate cold, but care should be taken to protect them from wind. Lettuce and other leafy greens have high water transpiration rates and should be kept consistently moist and in well drained soil. If leaves begin to wilt, plants need more water. Hand weed as necessary, but take care of shallow roots.WE SHIP FAST & FREE! Your orders ship the next business date after payment via US mail. NO TRACKING.
