Camelina performs best in a sunny location with well-drained soil. Prepare the planting area by loosening the soil and removing weeds before sowing. Good drainage is important, as consistently waterlogged soil can interfere with healthy root development.

Maintain even moisture during germination and early growth. Once established, water according to the growing conditions while avoiding excessive or prolonged moisture.

Sow Camelina sativa seeds into prepared garden soil or a suitable seed-starting medium. Cover the seeds lightly with soil and keep the planting area evenly moist during germination.

As seedlings develop, provide sufficient sunlight and growing space. For container cultivation, use a container with drainage holes and a well-draining growing medium. Position the container where the plants can receive adequate sunlight.
