Seeds benefit from cold stratification (2–4 weeks in the refrigerator) to improve germination. Transplant to a permanent bed in full sun to partial shade. Plants are slow to establish in year one — harvest lightly and allow the plant to build root strength. By year two and beyond, expect generous harvests of tender spring shoots and nutritious leaves throughout the season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDays to maturity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Perennial — best harvests from year 2 onward\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlant spacing:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18–24 inches\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardiness:\u003c\/strong\u003e Zones 3–9\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Box Garden Seeds LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43855646294150,"sku":null,"price":4.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2669\/3330\/files\/good-king-henry-seeds-close-up-plant-portrait.png?v=1775903468","url":"https:\/\/bgseedsllc.com\/products\/good-king-henry-seeds","provider":"Box Garden Seeds LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
