Growing Information

Days to germination

About 10–15 days at 65–70°F (18–21°C).

Starting indoors

The best method. Sow 8–10 weeks before planting out and move seedlings into cell packs or larger pots once true leaves show, about 30–40 days after sowing. Harden off and plant out in late spring or early summer.

Direct sowing

Sow in spring once the soil reaches about 65°F (18°C), 3–4 seeds per spot, 1/8" deep, and thin to one. Fall sowing also works: winter freezes, thaws and rain help the seed sprout in spring.

Light

Full sun; tolerates part shade.

Soil

Average soil that drains well.

Plant spacing

18–24". Divide only when clumps get crowded.

Hardiness

Zones 3–10.

Harvest

For fresh flowers, cut while the petals are still opening. For fresh cones, wait until the center is raised and golden. To dry flowers or cones, pull off the petals and hang the stems.

Uses

Cut flowers and fresh or dried seed heads; beds, borders, mass plantings and meadows.

Packet

25 seeds.
