Gardener Tips

Marshmallow needs to be cold stratified for proper germination. 

Start seeds indoors.  Once seedlings need to be transplanted, slowly hardened off outdoors.  This is a process that requires taking them outside during the day, for a period of time, before they are planted. This acclimates your seedlings to the outside world, meaning the elements like the wind and sun. We do it for several weeks to a month as this strengthens their stems and overall plant structure. 

• Start for a short period of time initially, then graduate to more time each day
• One week minimum is recommended
• Bring them inside in the early evening and overnight
• Keep an eye on them and constantly water them. Make sure they have not blown over. 

Harvesting Tips

Leaves and flowers can be harvested at any point in the growing season, once the plant is established.   Their growing season which is from mid-summer to early fall. Never harvest more than 1/3 of the plant.  Harvest roots in the spring or fall after  the plant is a few years old.  For root harvesting, it’s best to start in the fall of the second year of growth. Cut back the tall stalks and leave about 3" or less of the stalk.  Use a digging fork to loosen the soil and roots. You can harvest some roots without uprooting the entire plant. Best to chop up the root before drying.  Fresh root can be used or properly stored in your apothecary for later use.
