DESCRIPTION
Growing Epazote Culinary Herb Garden Seeds
Non-GMO heirloom epazote seeds grow a vigorous full sun garden performer not intended for indoor starts. Direct sow in the garden 2-3 epazote seeds ¼” deep and 3-4” apart in average, loose, and well-drained soil in full sun. Epazote seeds germinate in 7-14 days, thinning back to every 6-8” in the garden once true leaves establish. Weed extra seedlings to keep from overwhelming grow space. Dysphania ambrosioides has a weed-like hardiness and is even considered an invasive species in some regions with few pests, insects, or diseases.
Open-pollinated epazote seeds are a useful garden companion plant, cultivated for its uniquely pungent aroma which is credited to protecting other vegetable crops from pests and insects. Epazote seeds grow an exotic culinary herb served in traditional Central American dishes including black beans, moles, tamales, and chilaquiles.
