Herb Caraway

Herb Caraway – Growing Instructions

• Best grown in full sun in well drained soil high in organic matter.
• Can be sown in spring after the last frost or early autumn.
• Caraway should always be direct seeded as seedlings do not transplant well.
• Autumn sown seeds will often produce seed the following summer.
• Sow thinly about a half inch deep and once large enough to handle thin to a final plant density of six to eight inches apart.
• The seed is very slow to germinate, requiring patience and making weed control important during the seedling stage.
• Since seed will not be produced until the second season, caraway is best grown alongside annuals such as beans or peas.
