• Propagation: Division
• Maintenance: (See Jekka’s Blogs on Early Spring, Late Spring, Summer and Autumn maintenance)
• Harvest: May be cut to within 3cm of the ground 4 times a year to maintain supply of fresh leaves. Leaves do not dry well; refrigerated leaves in sealed plastic bag will store for 7 days, or freeze chopped leaves into ice cubes. Cut flowers when fully open for use in salads and sauces.
