Caraway
Caraway is a biennial herbaceous plant that starts producing seeds in its first year, with a strong, tangy flavour that stimulates appetite and aids digestion. It grows to a height of 90-120 cm and is low-maintenance, thriving best in deep, well-limed, and humus-rich soils. Plants retract their leaves when overwintering.
