St. John's wort

4500 seeds

1. Sow Indoors: Start seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost in a seed-starting mix. Press seeds lightly into the soil as they need light to germinate.

2. Germination: Keep the soil moist and expect germination in 2–3 weeks at 65–75°F.

3. Transplanting: Once seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant them outdoors after the last frost. Space plants 12–18 inches apart.

4. Light: Provide full sun for best growth and flowering.

5. Watering: Water regularly, but ensure the soil is well-drained. St. John's Wort is moderately drought-tolerant once established.

6. Harvesting: Harvest flowers in late spring to early summer when they are fully open for medicinal use.

St. John's Wort is perfect for gardeners interested in growing a medicinal herb with a long history of use for supporting emotional well-being.
