🌱 Growing Information
- 🌾 Harvesting: Begin picking young, light green leaves from spring onwards — harvest every week or two for a steady, continuous supply.
- 🪴 Planting: Seeds benefit from cold stratification before sowing for best germination rates. Plant outdoors after the last frost, or start indoors a few weeks before.
- 🌸 Bloom Time: White and yellow flowers appear from spring, with sporadic blooms continuing through the year.
- ☀️ Care: Tea plants prefer sun to part shade and adapt well to average soil and water conditions. Regular pruning keeps them at a manageable size and encourages better leaf production.
