Growing it
- Needs one unit of warm-weather growth per stage.
- Needs 10 chill weeks in winter before it can flower. Until then it waits at stage 3.
- Bloom record "late spring to early summer", peak "summer". Before the game shifts it for your frost dates, the bud-and-bloom window runs from the week of May 13 to the week of Aug 26.
- Well suited in zones 5–9. Outside that range it grows at 72% speed and takes 20% more frost damage.
- After a harvest the plant drops back to stage 2 and regrows from its crown.
Tips
- With 5 Culinary stars it can be harvested as a culinary lot for food recipes.
- Hardy down to zone 5, so it suits most cold-winter farms.
