Description

Andrographis paniculata Kalmegh 21,000 seeds
Annual but long-season, fully maturing in 160 days. Can be harvested for the active portion (leaf) well prior to that time. Often self-seeding in the right conditions (extended warm conditions). May go from early flowering back into vegetation phase and then flower again in late season.
Andrographis has a hard waxy seed coating which allows the seeds to remain viable for long periods of time in hot climates. However it makes it harder for the seed to break dormancy. Much research has been done on this plant since it is so important in Ayurvedic medicine and the consensus is that the seeds should be soaked in hot water for five minutes before sowing.
The temperature of the water should be around 50°C (122°F) for five minutes. Do not use boiling water and do not leave the seeds in the hot water for longer than five minutes or the viability can be decreased. After seeds have soaked sow them in seed trays or plug trays, see our general growing
