Growing Guide

Planting

Location: Choose a position offering sun or partial shade and prepare the soil so it is moist, well-drained soil.

Planting time: Plant from spring to early autumn while the soil is workable, avoiding frozen or waterlogged ground.

Spacing: Allow room for an eventual spread of approximately 30–60cm.

Care

Watering: Keep evenly moist without waterlogging.

Feeding: Apply a light general-purpose feed or a small amount of compost in spring where growth appears weak. Avoid overfeeding aromatic herbs.

Pruning: Remove damaged or tired growth and trim after flowering where appropriate to maintain a tidy, productive plant.

Harvesting & Storage

Harvesting: Harvest usable leaves or flowers only when the plant is correctly identified and the relevant part is known to be suitable. Pick in dry weather once established.

Storage: Use fresh material promptly. Where drying is appropriate, dry in a warm, airy place away from direct sunlight and store in an airtight labelled container.

UK Growing Conditions

American Skullcap is best established during mild UK weather. Good drainage, appropriate moisture and protection from prolonged extreme conditions will support healthy growth. Container plants may need additional watering in summer and shelter in severe winter weather.
