Hello Faizan, This is a growing plant in a pot. It is not seeds. It is growing in soil in the pot. The way to take care of it is to transplant it into a bigger pot. These are ready to transplant, they are big, please order precipitously, we’re coming to the end of our summer shipping season. richo

Hi
What would be the preferred temperature range for this plant to grow?

hello shalu, thanks for writing. these do fine in a standard summer garden situation with temps ranging from 50 to 100 degrees F. I have quite a few of them in flats in the greenhouse, too, and somewhat surprising to me they size themselves to the pots. richo

hi shravya, it is a prostrate herb, not a tall grower. with the pot, maybe 8 inches, we aim to give a good starter, and it has been a very good year on these. r

Does it return every year if left on the ground?

Hello Antonieta, Thanks for writing. Eclipta alba is frost tender, meaning it is killed by frost, so it does not return the next year, unless self-seeded, which it can accomplish, albeit grudgingly. If growing in the tropics, it may act as a perennial although I do think it is healthiest and most productive in the first year. We have this listed as: Tropical perennial, temperate annual, 60 days to harvest. Richo
