A rare Italian herb, sculpit is an annual, rustic, easy to grow plant. In Italy it is used as an aromatic herb to flavor salads, egg dishes, and risotto. The flavor is a bit like a combination of arugula, tarragon, chicory, with an herbal undertone. The leaves are long and lance-like, growing outward from a central stem ending in charismatic pink balloon-like flowers, fringed with delicate white petals. Blooming from April through October, these fantastic flower pouches drive pollinators wild and are so fun in floral arrangements.

25 organic seeds

 

KEY GROWING INFORMATION

Direct seed from last frost date to early summer. Sow seeds 1/4" and thin to 4" apart. 

Growing Tip:  Like most herbs, sculpit is easy growing, doing best in full sun and actually prefers poor soil. Rich garden soil produces lots of green growth but little to no flowers, good for culinary production but not for pollinators. 

Harvesting: Harvest leaves continually as they will quickly re-grow, giving more. Pick at any size.
