An exquisite dwarf form of this special, architectural plant. However, the charm of the original is not lost, as the ferny foliage is highly attractive and most delicate. The plant is surprisingly compact, making it ideal for container growing.

Excellent in the herb garden, and ideal for windowsill growing. Easy to grow.

Sow April to July, in successive sowings. Sow thinly, 1cm (½in) deep in drills 15cm (6in) apart. Can also be sown at 20-30C (68-86F) on the surface of a free draining, damp seed compost. Apply a fine sprinkling of vermiculite and place in a propagator or seal container inside a polythene bag until after germination. Do not exclude light at any stage.

Thin seedlings when large enough to handle to 5cm (2in) apart. Transplant into trays and then eventually plant out, 15cm (6in) apart or into containers.

Prefers a well drained soil in full sun Harvest as and when required.
