About Chia Herb Seeds
Chia Herb Seeds grow in full sun positions. The figures below are the ones on the packets in this group; each product page carries the exact numbers for that variety.
When to plant
Plant in spring. Hardy in zones 3 to 10 — your local frost dates decide the exact week.
Where to plant
Choose a site in full sun. Water needs are average once the plants are established. Free-draining soil matters more than rich soil; seed sown into ground that stays wet rots before it germinates. Allow 12 inches between plants so air can move between them.
How to plant
Sow 1/4 inch deep, spaced 12 inches apart. This seed needs light to germinate, so press it onto the surface and firm it in rather than burying it. Water gently to settle the soil, then keep the surface evenly moist until seedlings or shoots appear.
How to care
Keep watering average, at the base of the plant rather than over the leaves. Grown as an annual, so plan to sow again next season.
