• Carum carvi - Non-GMO, Open-Pollinated, Heirloom, Untreated

• Classic Old-World Flavor: The source of the iconic, aromatic seed used in rye bread, sauerkraut, and cheese. Its flavor is warm, earthy, and slightly sharp with notes of anise and dill.

• Dual-Purpose Harvest: While prized for its seeds, caraway also offers edible, carrot-like leaves for use in salads and feathery garnishes, as well as a taproot that can be cooked as a root vegetable after the first year.

• Hardy Biennial Life Cycle: This resilient plant focuses on establishing a healthy taproot and leafy rosette in its first year, then bolts in its second year to produce beautiful umbels of white flowers followed by a bountiful seed harvest.

• Beneficial Garden Companion: Attracts a wide array of beneficial insects, including parasitic wasps and lacewings, which help to naturally control pest populations throughout your garden.

• Naturalizes Easily: Caraway will readily self-sow if some seed heads are left in the garden, creating a continuous, self-perpetuating patch for years to come with just one initial planting.

• Drought Tolerant: Once its deep taproot is established, caraway is a low-maintenance and moderately drought-tolerant plant, making it a reliable choice for the herb garden.
