  • Partial Sun

  • Low

Try to plant in a location that enjoys partial sun and remember to apply water fairly sparingly. Keep in mind when planting that Rhea is thought of as half hardy, so although it can survive a small mild cold snap, it is wise to ensure that this plant is protected from frost damage.

Growing Rhea from seed

Sow 0.12 inches (0.3 cm) deep with a guideline distance of 0.98 inches (2.5 cm).

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Rhea about 60 days before your last frost date.

Transplanting Rhea

Ensure that temperatures are mild and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as Rhea is a half hardy plant.
