CARAWAY SEEDS Qty: 300 seeds Biennial, Non-GMO, Caraway Herb Garden Seeds from Smartbuyforever . Caraway herb has a variety of uses as the seeds, leaves, and roots are all edible. Native to Europe, Western Asia, and North Africa, the caraway herb is used in many dishes all over the world. Caraway is also a low maintenance plant to grow, as it is biennial and self-sowing. Caraway does best in full sun and warm environments. Sowing: Caraway seeds grow best in sandy or well drained soil and full sun. It does not transplant well, so direct sowing after the last spring frost is recommended. Plant Carum Carvi seeds 1/4″ deep in rows 18″ apart, later thinning the seedlings to 6-8″ apart. Germination of caraway is notoriously slow. Caraway seeds can also be planted in the fall. Growing: Keep the soil evenly moist until the caraway herb plant is established, taking care not to get the foliage wet to prevent disease. After the plant has grown to some height, it can survive quite well in dry soil. Control weeds, especially when the plants are small. Harvesting: Fresh caraway leaves, which have a flavor similar to dill and are often used in salads, can be harvested at any time after the caraway herb plant reaches a moderate height. The seeds will not be produced until late summer of the plant's second year. Remove the seed heads as soon as the seeds begin to mature, since they shatter easily. Rub the heads lightly to separate the seed from the heads, and store them in an airtight container. Seed Saving: This variety of caraway, being biennial, will not produce seed until the late summer of its second year; in cold regions, a layer of mulch may be necessary for protection. The seeds will begin to mature about a month after the plant begins flowering. Remove the seed heads as soon as the seeds begin to mature, since they shatter easily. Rub the heads lightly to separate the seed from the heads. Store caraway seeds in a cool, dry place and use as soon as possible.
