Care Instructions
Plant in full sun in rich, well-drained soil amended with organic matter. Water regularly while establishing and mulch to conserve moisture. Harvest stalks by pulling and twisting rather than cutting. During spring, harvest no more than one-third to one-half of the stalks at a time, leaving several healthy stalks to support continued growth. Avoid harvesting during the first growing season so the crown can become fully established.
