How to Care for the Plant

Water
Water regularly to keep the compost moist and ensure it doesn’t dry out.
Pruning
Harvest shoots from June to August. After that time shoots will become woody. Treat samphire as a slow-growing cut-and-come-again crop and leave a month between each cut.
Sunlight
Best grown in part shade.
