Wheat Seeds - Vegetable Plant for Home Gardens

Wheat is a widely cultivated cereal grain that grows as a cool-season annual with upright stems and narrow leaves. It adapts well to a range of temperate climates and performs best in full sun with well-drained, fertile soil. The plant establishes quickly under suitable conditions and is commonly grown in fields and garden plots where cooler growing periods support steady development. Wheat is suited to both small-scale cultivation and larger planting areas.
