The plant produces delicate umbels of small white flowers in its second year, followed by the familiar crescent-shaped seeds prized in the kitchen. Its airy texture and pollinator-friendly blooms also make it a welcome addition to herb gardens and cottage borders.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis heirloom, non-GMO selection is a versatile choice for home gardeners who enjoy growing their own culinary herbs. Caraway is easy to start from seed and rewards patient growers with a dual harvest: fresh leaves in the first season and seed heads the following year.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePlant Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeirloom, non-GMO culinary herb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAromatic seeds used in baking, cheese, and traditional dishes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFeathery, carrot-like foliage with a mild anise flavor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhite flower umbels that attract beneficial pollinators\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBiennial growth cycle with leaf and seed harvests\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eGrowing Information\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Carum carvi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlant Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Biennial herb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSunlight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun to partial shade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil:\u003c\/strong\u003e Well-drained loam; tolerates a range of soils\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater Requirements:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderate; keep soil evenly moist\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Upright with fine, fern-like foliage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloom Season:\u003c\/strong\u003e Late spring to early summer in the second year\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpacing:\u003c\/strong\u003e About 12 to 18 inches apart\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePlanting \u0026amp; Care\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSow caraway seeds directly in the garden, as the plant develops a taproot and does not transplant well.
