HOW TO GROW

Sowing: To soften the hard coating on these seeds, rub them lightly with sandpaper or soak them in 180 degrees F water overnight. Mix the seeds with moist sand and store in the refrigerator for 30 days before planting. Sow the seed in early spring, planting just below the surface of the soil. Keep the soil lightly moist until germination.

Growing: Water seedlings occasionally until they become established; mature plants grow well in drought, though watering them in especially dry weather will increase their bloom. This plant grows well in poor soil, as well as tolerating sandy soil or clay. It will self-seed in good growing conditions.

Harvesting: These blossoms do not perform well as cut flowers, and are best enjoyed outdoors.

Seed Saving: After the flowers fade, small green cups will form that contain the ripening seeds. Shake the seeds from their pods as soon as they turn their mature dark color. Store the seeds in a cool, dry place.

DESCRIPTION

Native to the deserts, mountains, and plains of the American West, this little plant produces lovely reddish-orange blossoms. This resilient little perennial grows well in poor dry soil and has adapted to extreme heat and drought, making it useful for xeriscaping.
This tough little plant grows throughout the foothills and plains of the American West. The tiny hairs on its leaves conserve moisture and reflect sunlight, as well as giving the foliage a characteristic grayish color. Creatures such as bison, antelope, bighorn sheep, and rabbits feed on the leaves of this plant. The genus name "Sphaeralcea" comes from the Latin words for "globe" and "mallow," references to the shape of the blossoms and to the plant family.
