Plant Characteristics:
This variety grows up to 3–4 feet (0.9–1.2 meters) tall, producing small, thin, light green leaves that cure to a golden-yellow hue.

Germination occurs within 7–14 days. Transplant outdoors after the last frost, spacing plants 12–18 inches apart. This variety thrives in full sun and sandy, well-drained soils. The leaves are typically sun-cured to preserve their rich aroma and smooth flavor.
