It is one of the more cold-hardy crops and can keep growing through light freezes with some winter protection. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. Plants reach maturity in 50 days, so you can harvest them quickly.
Pairs well with Green Zebra tomato, Scallion green onion, Kent Beauty oregano, and Berggarten sage.
