HOW TO GROW
Sowing: Direct sow in late fall, pressing the mistflower seeds into the surface of the soil since they need light to germinate. For spring planting, mix the Eupatorium Coelestinum seeds with moist sand and store in the refrigerator for 60 days before direct sowing. To start indoors, scatter the seed on the surface of the soil in a flat; compress the soil slightly and keep it lightly moist until germination, which is naturally slow but should take place within 2-3 months. Keep the soil consistently moist, and transplant seedlings as soon as they reach a height of several inches.
Growing: Keep seedlings watered, since they need even moisture in their first year of development; they may not bloom until their second year of growth. Mature plants can tolerate drought, though they reach their full potential in moist, well-drained soil. This plant will spread by rhizomes and self-seeding, and may become rather invasive. Cut the plant back for new growth, and cut it down to the ground after the first frost. This plant attracts butterflies and bees.
Harvesting: For fresh flowers, cut long stems of flowers that have just opened and place them in water immediately; strip the leaves that will fall below the water.
Seed Saving: Late in the season, these fuzzy flowers will begin to turn dull brown. Snip off entire heads and spread them out in a protected location to prevent the light seed from blowing away. When the heads have completely dried, shake them to remove the seed. The fluff attached to the Eupatorium Coelestinum seeds does not affect germination. Store the mistflower seeds in a cool, dry place.

Helpful customer service too
I have purchased many varieties of seeds from Everwilde. All have been of hood quality with a good germination rate. Instructions for how to and when to sow are always clear on the packet. They always arrive quickly. I've been very satisfied. And with my most recent purchase, the delivery was for some reason returned to them. They contacted me and the package was on its way back to me within 24 hours. Good customer service as well as seeds. Happy gardener!Thank you Everwilde.
