HOW TO GROW
Sowing: Direct sow on the surface of the soil in late fall or early spring, and thin or transplant the seedlings to 24-36" apart. To start the seed indoors, sow on the surface of a flat; keep the soil lightly moist and at a temperature of 65-70 degrees F until germination. Transplant the seedlings as soon as they grow big enough to handle safely.
Growing: These plants thrive in full sun and dry, sandy soil. They do not need watering, since they tolerate drought well. Since this plant is a short-lived perennial, its life can be prolonged by removing the stalks as soon as they begin to flower. These plants easily reseed themselves, and can also be divided. Beach wormwood attracts bees and butterflies, especially the American Painted Lady.
Harvesting: Beach wormwood can be poisonous in large doses, and should be used with care.
Seed Saving: As soon as the round flowers begin to turn brown, the seed will develop. Shake the entire stalk over a container to remove the ripe seed; the process may have to be repeated as more seed ripens. Store the seed in a cool, dry place.
