Growing in Alabama
Choose a sunny location with loose, sharply drained soil. In the humid Southeast, raised beds and containers can help protect roots from persistent moisture. Water while establishing, then allow the top of the soil to dry between waterings. Harvest leaves sparingly for cooking and prune lightly to encourage fresh growth. Provide good airflow and avoid heavy fertilization, which can encourage soft growth.
