Product description
Caraway not only makes a striking visual addition to any garden setting, it also has culinary value with a flavour not unlike Anise. The leaves are a lovely addition to salads, while the seeds can be used in baking. The seeds are also popular for cooking Indian dishes. When the plant dies back the roots can be dug up, brushed off and peeled to cook and eat like parsnips.
Caraway acts as a digestive aid and, interestingly, has a history of being a key ingredient of magical love potions!
Also known as Ammi or Persian Cumin, Caraway is a bushy biennial that will flower and produce seeds in its second year. This bushy herb is highly aromatic, and its nectar-rich blossoms attract bees and other beneficial insects to the garden - which is good news for other crops you wish to pollinate.
Please Note: When purchasing plants please consider that each live item is unique and may therefore differ from the images shown, which are for illustration purposes only - The plant will be supplied in a growers pot. Depending on season, some plants may be pruned back to encourage growth and deciduous plants may arrive without leaves.

Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.

Top Tip
Caraway doesn’t like to be transplanted, so choose your spot carefully and don’t move it unnecessarily.
How to Water
Water regularly until full established, then less frequently once mature.
How to Plant
Plant in full sun in light, well-draining soil. Dig a hole slightly bigger than the root ball and place the plant inside, taking care not to disturb the roots too much. Backfill with soil and compost, firming in gently, and water in well.
