It is a biannual herb, meaning it has a lifespan of two years, the first of which it germinates, grows, and blooms before bearing fruit. It is a native of Europe, as well as North Africa and West Asia. The margins of its compound leaves are serrated. The stems that the flowers grow from can grow up to 40 cm in height, and occasionally almost one meter. The flowers are small and white. It is sometimes referred to as caraway road, carvia road, or meadow road. Additionally, as a matter of curiosity, you should be aware that it is possible to grow it in pots. To accomplish this, simply follow the below-provided guidance.
Care
Soil or substrate
Clay, sand, alkaline, neutral, and acidic
Garden: easy to maintain. It can grow in a variety of soil types, but it prefers soil that is high in organic matter because it would struggle to stay healthy otherwise.
If you want to plant it in a flowerpot, you may use a general substrate like this one or one designed specifically for urban gardens (which is available to buy here!).
Irrigation
It is a plant that does not require frequent watering. If your caraway is in a pot and the weather is dry, you only need to do it in the summer. Before rehydrating the plant, you must check the soil or substrate’s humidity to ensure that problems don’t result from either a lack of or an overabundance of watering.
