Product Info

How to grow

Timing: Direct sow in mid-to-late spring. Sowing indoors is possible, but does not gain much time. Root-bound plants lack stability and may need staking at tranplant time.  Optimal soil temperature for germination: 21-30 degrees C (70-85F).

Seeding:Sow seeds 2cm (1") deep, 15cm (6") apart. Thin or space 30cm (12") apart. 

Growing: 1-2 cups of balanced fertilizer per 3m (10') row is enough for the whole season. When the back of the seed head turns yellow in the fall, cut it off the plant. Rub the seeds loose and dry them indoors on trays. For cut flowers, harvest while the flowers are still compact, and just beginning to open. immerse stems in cool water soon after cutting.
