25 x Durum Wheat Seeds

Durum Wheat (Triticum durum) is a hardy, high-protein wheat variety traditionally grown for making pasta, couscous, and semolina flour. Known for its strong gluten and golden kernels, it is well suited to warm, dry growing conditions and is a rewarding crop for home growers and small-scale grain production. Durum is an awned wheat and  the immature stalks are also suitable for dry flower arrangements and decorations

Unique Qualities:

• High-protein grain ideal for pasta and semolina

• Hard, amber-coloured kernels

• Tolerant of heat and dry conditions

• Traditional cereal crop with reliable yields

Growing Season: Durum wheat is best sown in late autumn to early winter in mild climates, or in early spring in colder regions. It prefers full sun and well-drained soil. Moderate watering is required during establishment, with drier conditions favoured as the grain matures.

Time to Harvest: Expect durum wheat to reach maturity approximately 110130 days after planting. Harvest when the stalks and seed heads turn golden and dry, indicating the grain is fully developed and ready for threshing.
