Fleshy leaf stalks edible, on par with celery, which it resembles. Traditional use (TWM): a mild stomachic, cleanser of the urinary apparatus, spring tonic. In season, the herb was part of Alexander the Great’s daily diet, therefore the name. Alexanders prefers sun and composted garden soil, regular watering. Sow in fall for germination in the winter to spring, producing edible stalks midsummer. Otherwise, give 8 weeks moist refrigeration and sow cool. Space plants 1 foot apart.

These germinated beautifully for me, and flourished to become a full patch. But if you don’t want it to take over an area, trim the flowers before they seed! Seemed to do well in shaded area and never cared if it became a bit dry, even in Texas summers.
