Growing instructions
Orach likes well drained soil and is heat and cold tolerant so can be seeded from early spring to mid summer. Direct sow as Orach does not like to be transplanted. Broadcast seeds in a well cultivated garden patch, or seed in rows 10" apart and thin seedlings to 6". Sow in successions for a steady crop.
