Gardening tips for Bergamot Sauvage Biologique des Semences Nordiques
Ideally, sow seeds indoors, then transplant when plants have true leaves and transplant in June or early July (about 6 weeks after sowing seeds). Space plants 12"-18" apart.
Seeds can also be sown directly in the garden in late June or July, but the plants will probably only flower the following year.
