  • Full Sun

  • Very High

Lebanese likes a position of full sun and remember to water very often. Keep in mind when planting that Lebanese is thought of as tender, so remember to wait until your soil is warm and the night time temperature is well above freezing before moving outside.

Growing Lebanese from seed

Try to aim for a seed spacing of at least 1.95 feet (60.0 cm) and sow at a depth of around 0.2 inches (0.5 cm). Soil temperature should be kept higher than 15°C / 59°F to ensure good germination.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Lebanese about 42 days before your last frost date.

Transplanting Lebanese

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