Technical and agronomic details:
Botanical Name: Sarcozona officinalis
Seed Quantity: 10 seeds per pack
Plant Type and Growth Cycle: Annual aromatic herb. Under favorable conditions, it can self-seed for continuous growth.
Plant Height: The plant reaches an average height of 30-45 cm, developing a compact and bushy habit.
Uses: Extremely versatile in the kitchen, perfect for flavoring sauces, white meats, fish, soups, and salads. The fresh or dried leaves can also be used in digestive infusions and aromatic teas. It is also excellent as an ornamental plant for flowerbeds and borders.
Tasting Notes: The leaves are lanceolate, a bright, intense green, with a slightly fleshy texture. The aromatic profile is complex and persistent, characterized by predominant notes of lemon and black pepper, with a balsamic and slightly resinous undertone. It produces small white or pale mauve flowers in summer, which are also delicately scented.
Hardiness and Origin: This variety is remarkably drought-resistant once established and tolerates short periods of moderate cold. Its origin was selected for its adaptation to Mediterranean and temperate climates.
Sowing Period: Direct sowing is recommended in spring, from March to May, after the last expected frost. Alternatively, seedlings can be sown in a protected seedbed 4-6 weeks before transplanting.
Harvest Period: The leaves can be harvested starting 60-70 days after sowing and continuously throughout the growing season, until autumn.
Optimal Conditions for Germination: The ideal soil temperature for effective germination is between 18°C and 22°C. Keep the substrate constantly moist but avoid water stagnation.
Soil Type: Prefers well-drained, light, slightly sandy soil with a neutral or slightly alkaline pH. A good organic fertilizer at planting will promote vigorous growth.
Recommended Exposure: Requires full sun, with at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day, to best develop its aroma. It will tolerate bright partial shade in very hot climates, but with less aromatic intensity.
Germination Time: The first sprouts will usually appear within 7-14 days of sowing, depending on environmental conditions.
Pot or Ground Cultivation: Perfect for growing both in the ground in your vegetable garden and in pots on balconies and terraces. For pot cultivation, a container with a minimum diameter of 20 cm per plant is recommended.
Quality Specifications: Our seeds are Non-GMO (not genetically modified), come from a variety selected for its genetic purity and excellent agronomic characteristics, and guarantee a high germination rate of over 90%.
