Fenugreek Seeds — Trigonella foenum-graecum

This packet contains 100 seeds of Trigonella foenum-graecum, commonly called fenugreek. It is an annual member of the legume family with trifoliate leaves and small pale flowers. The packet contains seed for cultivation; no live plants are included. Growth rate and final size depend on temperature, soil, spacing and care.

Sowing

Fenugreek is started from seed and can be sown directly into a prepared garden bed or a container with drainage holes. Choose a sunny position and loose, well-drained soil that is free of large stones. Sow the seeds shallowly, cover with a thin layer of soil, and water gently. Keep the seedbed evenly moist while seedlings establish, but avoid saturated conditions. Sow only when local temperatures are suitable for active growth.

Care

Thin crowded seedlings so air and light can reach the developing plants. Weed carefully while plants are young and water when the upper soil begins to dry. Containers may need more frequent checks than garden beds. Avoid heavy disturbance of the root zone after establishment. If growing several plants for observation or seed production, give them enough space for branching and flowering.

Season and storage

Fenugreek completes its life cycle in one growing season. Local weather will determine the practical sowing and harvest window, so use regional garden guidance rather than a fixed calendar date. Close any unused portion of the packet securely and store it labelled in a cool, dry, dark place. Protect the seed from humidity, heat and repeated temperature changes.
