HOW TO GROW
Sowing: Direct sow late figwort (Scrophularia marilandica) seeds in late fall, pressing into the surface of the soil since this plant needs light to germinate. For spring planting, mix the seeds with moist sand and store in the refrigerator for 30 days before planting. Keep the soil lightly moist until germination.
Growing: Water seedlings regularly until they become established. Usually flowering in its second or third year, this plant grows well in soil that does not become either too wet or too dry. Mature plants tolerate drought, but grow best with occasional watering in dry weather. This plant attracts bees and hummingbirds, and may self-seed.
Harvesting: These blossoms do not perform well as cut flowers, and are best enjoyed outdoors.
Seed Saving: After the flowers fade, the late figwort seeds will develop in a rounded seed pod that eventually begins to turn brown and dry. Gather the dried seed pods and spread them out to dry away from direct sunlight. Rub them lightly to separate the seeds from their pods. Keep the seeds in a cool, dry place.
