Cuminum cyminum

Cumin seeds produce a plant that is a medicinal/culinary spice and a main ingredient of curry. Cumin has a very distinctive taste. As it requires a long, warm growing season to mature properly, we suggest starting the seed early indoors. Cumin matures to a height of 45 cm. Annual.

How to Grow

Soaking seed for 8 hours before planting can aid in germination. In long growing season areas, direct-sow seed 3 mm deep and 15 cm apart in a sunny site. Thin seedlings to 20 cm apart. Seed can also be started indoors in a soil-less growing medium 4 to 6 weeks early. After hardening off, transplant seedlings outside after the danger of frost has passed. Germination occurs in 10-15 days.
