Organic Caraway Seeds

Caraway is a favorite spicy herb for adding flavor to breads, salads, sausage, and more. Use the leaves to flavor food during the first year, and use the seeds in the second year. It rarely becomes invasive, but if conditions are just right, it will spread. Water regularly, but do not overwater. Approx. 200 seeds. Non-GMO

Sowing: Caraway grows 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 the seeds 1/4" deep in rows 18" apart, later thinning the seedlings to 6-8" apart. Germination of caraway is notoriously slow. Caraway can also be planted in the fall.

Growing: Keep the soil evenly moist until the 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.
