Sowing Instructions:
Sow Setaria Viridis Caramel seeds indoors in early spring or directly outdoors after the last frost date. For indoor sowing, plant the seeds in shallow trays or pots filled with a light, well-draining compost. Scatter the seeds thinly on the surface and gently press them into the soil, as they require light to germinate. Keep the soil moist and maintain a temperature of around 18-20°C. Germination typically occurs within 7-14 days. If sowing directly outdoors, choose a sunny, well-drained location, and scatter the seeds across the soil surface in early spring. Thin the seedlings to about 30-45 cm apart to allow for proper growth.

Setaria Viridis Caramel grows to a height of 90-120 cm and produces elegant, feathery seed heads that transition from green to warm caramel as the summer progresses, adding a soft glow to your garden through autumn. It thrives in a variety of soil types, from poor to moderately fertile, and requires minimal maintenance, making it an excellent choice for both beginner and seasoned gardeners. Whether used as a standalone specimen or as part of a mixed planting scheme, Grasses Setaria Viridis Caramel brings texture, movement, and a touch of golden warmth to any outdoor space.
