What you need to know to Plant & Grow
Cherry Brandy grows rapidly from seed and can be started indoors or sown directly into garden beds after the last spring frost.
-
Indoor Sowing: Start seeds indoors in a quality soilless growing medium in mid- to late March. Maintain a consistent temperature of 20°C for the 14 to 21 day germination period. Move seedlings under grow lights at slightly cooler temperatures before hardening off and transplanting outside to a sunny location after frost danger passes.
-
Outdoor Direct Sowing: Thanks to its rapid growth rate, seed can also be direct sown outdoors in late May or early June once the soil has warmed and frost risk is gone.
-
Spacing & Care: Space plants 30 cm apart. Avoid overcrowding, as good air circulation is essential for maintaining robust foliage health throughout the summer.
