Technical details:
Botanical name: Skiatophytum umbrosum
Seed Quantity: 10 seeds per pack
Plant Type and Crop Cycle: Perennial in USDA zones 8-11, annual in colder climates. Offers a rapid crop cycle for foliage production.
Plant height: Generally reaches a height of 30-50 cm.
Uses: Excellent as a fresh herb in salads, sauces, and cold dishes. It also lends itself beautifully as an ornamental plant for borders, partial shade flowerbeds, pots, and containers, or as a ground cover in difficult-to-reach areas.
Tasting Notes: It has dark green, slightly fleshy foliage with a fresh, slightly peppery, and citrusy aroma. Its small white flowers, which appear in late spring, add a delicate touch and a pleasant scent.
Hardiness and Origin: Resistant to short periods of drought and tolerant of bright or partial shade. This variety was selected for its resilience and adaptability to a variety of temperate conditions.
Sowing period: Ideally, sow in early spring (March-April) for summer growth, or in late summer (August-September) for autumn growth in mild climates.
Harvest period: The leaves can be harvested continuously, "in sprouting", starting approximately 60-70 days after sowing, ensuring a prolonged harvest.
Optimal conditions for germination: Requires a stable soil temperature between 18°C and 22°C. Seeds require light to germinate, so they should be sown shallowly or lightly covered with a thin layer of soil.
Soil Type: Prefers well-drained soil, rich in organic matter, with a neutral or slightly acidic pH (6.0-7.0). It also tolerates less fertile soils, as long as they are not excessively compacted.
Recommended location: Partial shade or bright shade. It is essential to avoid direct and prolonged exposure to the sun during the hottest hours of the day, especially during the summer months.
Germination time: Under optimal environmental conditions, germination typically occurs within 7-14 days.
Pot or ground cultivation: Thanks to its compact size and shade tolerance, it is an excellent choice both for easy pot cultivation on balconies and terraces, and in the ground as a border plant or ground cover in shaded areas.
