Papalo herb seed (Porophyllum ruderale ssp. macrocephalum) 30 fresh seeds

Description

Papalo is a fast-growing herb used fresh with salads, sandwiches, soups, stews, meats or beans. Very easy summer annual that can be grown anywhere. Each plant can get up to 6 feet tall, so you'll have plenty of herb to use in your favorite recipes!
Papalo grows best in full sun or part shade. Plant in the spring and harvest fresh herb all summer long!
Germination instructions:
Papalo is known to have low, erratic germination rates, often taking 3 weeks or more to germinate. My best results this year have been with seed sown on the soil surface, and just enough fine soil sprinkled over them to keep them from blowing away, leaving part of the seed exposed. Then watered in & kept moist. Within 3 days 10% of the seeds sprouted, and 44% within 20 days. The germination rate after 3 months was 66%. Seeds that fall to the ground in the garden often take 6-7 months before they sprout naturally, so patience pays!
If you like Papalo, you'll also want to try a packet of my Quilquina seeds. It has a similar, but stronger, flavor and is used in the same ways.
My seeds are all grown chemical-free!
