Cumin Seeds

Plant Information:

Cuminum cyminum

Sow: Late March to May  
Flowers: July to August  
Harvest: September   

More commonly grown in warmer climates, but we reckon it's worth a crack in this country – especially with the milder Autumns we've had in recent years.  

Sowing instructions:

Sow from late March onwards. Sow a few seeds in a 7cm pot, cover lightly with compost and place on a sunny windowsill. Germination takes 7 to 10 days. Pot on when first true leaves appear and roots fill pot

Growing instructions:

Needs a long and warm growing season, so best in a greenhouse or a polytunnel, but will do well in a sheltered spot or in a pot on a sunny patio.

Notes:

None, currently.
