Planting Tips:
Land Seaweed thrives in well-drained soil with good organic matter content, but it is highly adaptable and can tolerate poor soil conditions.
Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost or sow directly outdoors in spring after the risk of frost has passed.
Plant seeds 1/4 inch deep and space them 12-24 inches apart to accommodate the mature size of the plant.
Keep the soil consistently moist during germination, but avoid overwatering once the plants are established.
Land Seaweed prefers full sun but can tolerate partial shade, especially in hot climates.
Prune regularly to maintain the shrub's shape and encourage healthy growth.
Harvest the berries when they turn bright orange, typically in late summer to early fall.
Be aware that this plant is dioecious, meaning you will need at least one male plant for every 6-8 female plants to ensure fruit production.
Land Seaweed is a versatile, low-maintenance plant that offers a wealth of benefits. Whether you're looking to enhance the aesthetic of your garden, improve soil health, or harvest nutrient-rich fruit for culinary or medicinal purposes, this hardy shrub is an excellent choice. Add Land Seaweed to your garden for a functional, beautiful, and nutrient-packed addition.
