HOW TO GROW
Sowing: Direct sow in late fall, pressing the seed into the surface of the soil. For spring planting, mix the seeds with moist sand and store in the refrigerator for 60 days before planting. Keep the soil very lightly moist until germination, which can be slow and irregular.
Growing: Water seedlings occasionally until they become established. Control weeds, since this plant does not do well with competition. It grows rather slowly, usually blooming in its second year of growth. Mature plants do fairly well in drought, though they adapt to well-drained moist soil. It also grows well in rocky or sandy soil. This plant attracts bees and butterflies, and readily reseeds itself as well as slowly spreading by rhizomes.
Harvesting: These blossoms do not perform well as cut flowers, and are best enjoyed outdoors.
Seed Saving: After the flowers fade, oval pods will begin to develop. When ripe, each pod will split open into three sections that hold the ripe seeds. Remove the seeds. Since they lose their viability quickly, planting immediately will result in the best germination. If storing is necessary, keep the seed in the refrigerator until planting.
