Unit price perCarum carvi
Caraway is a hardy biennial, sometimes short-lived perennial, growing to around 60 cm tall. Best known for its aromatic, liquorice-flavoured seeds, it has been cultivated for centuries as both a culinary and medicinal herb. The seeds are widely used to flavour breads, cakes, biscuits, cheeses and herbal teas, while the young roots can be cooked and enjoyed much like parsnips. Delicate white flower umbels attract beneficial insects, making Caraway a valuable companion plant, particularly near peas. Rich in naturally occurring minerals including potassium, sodium, calcium, phosphorus and iron, it is an attractive and productive addition to the herb garden. Plants typically flower after around 120 days, with mature seed ready for harvest in the second season, approximately 400 days from sowing.
Approximately 25 seeds per gram
Approximately 170 seeds per packet

Planting / Sowing
Direct sow seed 5–10 mm deep into well-drained, fertile soil in full sun to partial shade. Caraway develops a long taproot and is best sown where it is to grow. Keep the soil evenly moist during germination. Space plants 20–30 cm apart with 40–50 cm between rows. Harvest leaves as required in the first year, then allow plants to flower and set seed during the second season.
Due to quarantine restrictions, TAS has an 800g limit per each seed variety and WA has a 10,000 seeds limit per variety.

FLOWER SEEDS WITH EDEN
Flower seeds: As fellow gardening enthusiasts we share the love for planting and nurturing our own flowers in addition to our veggie gardens. Our carefully selected range of flower seeds, available for convenient online purchase, holds a special place in our hearts. Like the endangered vegetables we've championed, these flower varieties face the risk of vanishing forever. Some of these older strains are incredibly rare, and it's a source of immense pride for us to offer and deliver these precious flower seeds Australia-wide.
