Unit price perCuminum cyminum
Cumin is a warm-season annual herb growing to around 15 cm tall, producing slender foliage and small white to pale pink flower umbels followed by aromatic seeds. One of the world's oldest cultivated spices, cumin is an essential ingredient in Indian, Middle Eastern, Mexican, North African and Latin American cuisines. The seeds can be used whole or ground, imparting a warm, earthy flavour to curries, spice blends, stews, breads and roasted vegetables. Lightly toasting the seeds before use enhances their rich aroma and flavour.
Approximately 90–110 seeds per gram
Approximately 170 seeds per packet
When to Plant (Australia)
Tropics: April to August (dry season)
Subtropics: September to November

Planting / Sowing
Direct sow seed 5–10 mm deep into fertile, well-drained soil in a sunny, sheltered position once the weather has warmed. Cumin develops a taproot and is best sown where it is to grow. Space plants 15–20 cm apart and keep the soil evenly moist during establishment. Harvest seed heads once they turn brown and dry them thoroughly before storing.

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.
