Cuminum cyminum
Cumin is grown for the pungent seeds that are used whole or ground in many Mexican, Asian, Indian and Middle Eastern dishes.It also has medicinal uses. The plant has feathery leaves and umbels of white or pink flowers
Flowering
From Mid Summer TO Late Summer
Umbels of white or pink flowers appear in Summer, and are followed by the seeds
Planting
From Mid Spring TO Late Spring
Plant into a sunny site with well-draining fertile soil after all risk of frost has passed.
Propagating by seed
From Early Spring TO Late Spring
Start seeds inside 6 to 8 weeks before the last frost, or outdoors when the soil temperature has warmed and the risk of frost has passed. Sow groups of 3 or 4 seeds at a depth of ¼ inch and spaced at 8" apart. When seedlings are 2 inches tall, thin to 1 plant every 8". Germinate should be in 7 to 14 days.
