Flower stalks arise early summer of 2d season, topped by flat, white, seed producing blossom clusters. Try with apples and melons! Tender young leaves impart a Caraway flavor to mixed greens & salads. Can pluck throughout the growing season. Seed crop matures faster when you stop watering when flowers form. Cut flower stems | |
