Planting Sesame

Sesame grows nicely from direct seedings after the last frost. If you plant your sesame outdoors, space rows 27 to 40 inches apart. Although this herb can tolerate dry conditions, it requires adequate moisture for germination and early growth. It also does not like strong winds.

Days to Harvest: 90-150
Days to Germinate: 8-15
