Plants form upright clumps with serrated leaves. Stems and leaves have fine stinging hairs. Use gloves when sowing, transplanting, and harvesting. Young shoots are edible after proper cooking. Sowing guide The best time is spring to early summer. In mild climates, early autumn also works. Seed prep, optional 1 to 2 weeks of cold stratification, improves uniformity. Depth, surface sow or cover very lightly, about 2 mm. Light, bright light helps germination. Temperature: keep 18 to 22°C until germination. Moisture: Keep the seedbed evenly moist; do not let it dry out. Germination window, 10 to 21 days. Spacing, thin or transplant to 30 to 45 cm between plants, 60 cm between rows. Site, fertile, well-drained soil, sun to part shade. Care, water regularly, and mulch to hold moisture. Cut back to encourage tender regrowth.
