When to Seed Spilanthes

This annual herb should be direct seeded into the garden in early spring or transplanted once all danger of frost has passed. 

Where to Plant Spilanthes

This plant will appreciate a spot with full sun. Loose, well-draining soil is ideal but this plant will tolerate a wide range of growing conditions. It will readily reseed, so keep this in mind when choosing a planting location! 

Growing Spilanthes

Sow seeds on the surface of the soil and three to four inches apart. Once mature, thin to 12 to 18 inches apart. When established, this herb is low maintenance. 

Harvesting Spilanthes

Spilanthes flowers can be harvested and used fresh or dried. Regular deadheading will result in a longer harvest and bloomtime.
