Plants need at least 10 hours of daylight to grow actively. The period with under 10 h is called the Persephone period.

From To Number of days
Daylight over 10 h 25 Feb 17 Oct 234
Persephone period 18 Oct 24 Feb 131
Plan the year's last sowing of cold-hardy plants in Perstorp so they are approximately 75% mature by 18 Oct when daylight drops below 10 h and growth starts to slow.

Daylight periods

Long-day plants like lettuce, spinach and coriander bolt when daylight gets too long. Plan sowing and harvest during periods when daylight is shorter (10-14 h). Early spring or late summer sowing gives the best results.

Season Light Period Days Advice
Shorter daylight 10-14 h 25 Feb – 15 Apr 50 Grow long-day plants like spinach, lettuce and coriander.
