Beschreibung

The flowering period is between May and July. Essential oils provide the characteristic scent of caraway.

Anbautipps

Caraway can be sown directly in the bed or grown in plant pots. The germination temperature is between 5 and 15°C. Caraway is a light germinator. Therefore, you should only press the seeds lightly and not cover them with soil. You can harvest the umbels when they have turned brown. The seeds should then be dried.
