Planting & Growing Instructions

When to Plant:

Start your Marshmallow Herb Heirloom Seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date in your area or sow them directly outdoors in late spring once the soil has warmed. Marshmallow seeds prefer temperatures around 65-75°F (18-24°C) for optimal germination.

How to Plant The Marshmallow Herb Heirloom Seeds :

1. Direct Sowing: Sow seeds ¼ inch deep in well-drained soil. Keep the soil moist until germination occurs, which typically takes 14-21 days.
2. Transplanting: If starting indoors, transplant seedlings outdoors when they are 3-4 inches tall and all danger of frost has passed. Space plants 12-18 inches apart to allow for full growth.
3. Soil Requirements: Marshmallow plants prefer moist, well-drained soil rich in organic matter. Add compost or organic fertilizer to enrich the soil before planting.

Sun & Water Requirements:

• Sunlight: Marshmallow plants thrive in full sun but can tolerate partial shade. Ensure they receive at least 6 hours of sunlight per day for optimal growth.
• Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Marshmallow plants prefer a steady supply of moisture, especially during hot weather, but are also somewhat drought-tolerant once established.
• Mulching: Apply mulch around the base of the plants to retain moisture, regulate soil temperature, and suppress weeds.

Fertilization & Care:

• Use an organic fertilizer or compost to promote healthy growth. Fertilize once during the growing season, but avoid over-fertilizing, as it may reduce flowering.
• Regularly remove weeds around the base of the plant to reduce competition for nutrients and water.

Harvesting:

• Leaves: Harvest leaves throughout the growing season for use in herbal teas or salads. Pick young, tender leaves for the best flavor and quality.
• Roots: The roots of the marshmallow plant are typically harvested in the fall of the second year for use in medicinal remedies. Gently dig around the plant to avoid damaging the roots.
