Herb Seed Bundle

• Before last frost: start tulsi and ashwagandha seeds indoors
• After last frost: direct sow bhringaraj, bitter melon, and fennel seeds
• In the late spring: cold stratify and direct sow skullcap seeds
• Early spring through summer: direct sow marshmallow, calendula, and chamomile seeds
• Early spring through early fall: direct sow echinacea seeds

Most of these herbs prefer full sun and well-drained soil. With regular watering, minimal maintenance, and a touch of love, they will offer an abundant and continual harvest of beneficial herbs throughout the growing season.

Growing Tips:

• Echinacea grows slowly and flowers in its second year. Roots can be harvested in 2–3 years.
• Harvest marshmallow roots in the fall of their first season, or wait until the second year for larger roots.
• For peak potency, wait to harvest ashwagandha roots until after the first fall frost.
• Wear gloves and long sleeves when harvesting bhringaraj as the plant can irritate the skin.
• Harvest bitter melons when the gourds are still young, around 8–12 inches long.
• Pick chamomile and calendula flowers often to encourage continued flowering.
