White Sesame
Drought tolerant, annual plant producing the white sesame seed used in South Asian and many other Asian cusines. Plant can grow up to 6 feet - here in Petaluma it grew 4 feet tall and was producing stunning pale pink flowers up until the first frost.
To harvest the seeds, wait for the seed pods to turn brown and dry up on the stalk. Put them into a brown paper bag or fabric bag to collect all the seeds. In Petaluma, the pods were just beginning to turn brown at the end of the season so we put them in a big lawn bag and stored them in a warm, dry place until the plant fully matured and the seed pods ruptured open to release the seeds.
Plant thrives in warm, dry locations. Once plant is established, waterings can be reduced.
