Sowing Guide

Early Sowing/Module Sowing

Sow the seeds thinly on the surface of moist compost in trays, modules or pots.
Lightly firm the seeds into the surface of the compost but do not cover.
Place in a propagator or clear plastic bag and seal. Germinate at the temperature suggested above. Do not exclude light as this will aid germination.
Once germination has started remove from the propagator or bag and place in a cooler but not cold location for a few days. Protect from frost.
When the seedlings are large enough to handle transplant into 7 - 10 cm pots.
Grow on in a frost free greenhouse or cold frame until the plants are growing strong and all risk of frost has passed.
Harden off over 7 - 10 days before planting out.

Direct Sowing

Germinate indoors for best results.

Growing On

Water the young plants well until established.
Pennyroyal will self seed easily. Dead head fading blooms to prevent self seeding if preferred.
Water established plants well in dry weather.

Harvesting

Consuming Pennyroyal - This herb is mostly used when dry however before consuming any part of pennyroyal please consult with a qualified herbal practitioner for advice.
