Sweet flavor, high in vitamin C. Biennial, grown as an annual. Mild flavor combines well with most dishes and is a pretty garnish. Aromatic plant that is attractive to bees, butterflies and birds. Use leaves fresh or dried, but freezing is the preferred storage method. High in vitamin C. Grows 18" tall.

The first sprigs may be harvested as soon as the leaves are formed. Keep using the outside leaves, allowing the center of the plant to produce more leaves. For use as a flavoring, the leaves should be dried on a screen in a dry, well-ventilated area. Leaves can then be crushed and stored in an airtight jar. To freeze, pinch foliage from stems and arrange in single layer on a baking sheet. Freeze and store in freezer bags, removing as much air as possible.
