Sesamum or Sesame is a small genus found in tropical Asia and Africa within the unicorn plant family (Pedaliaceae).

Plants are fast growing annuals to semiperennials growing in any rich, well drained soil in a sunny spot. Keep pot plants drier in winter at a minimum of some 15°C in full sun.
Sow seeds flat in any fertile, well drained soil in a sunny spot at a minimum of some 20°C. Grow as perennial pot plants or grow as annuals and transplant seedlings to the open garden in early summer.
