HOW TO GROW
Sowing: In late fall, direct sow Prairie Indian plantain seeds just below the surface of the soil. For spring planting, mix Cacalia Plantaginea seeds with moist sand and store them in the refrigerator for 60 days before planting. After the last frost of spring, sow the seed on the surface of the soil and keep the soil moist until germination.
Growing: This plantain plant grows best in rich, rather moist soil that drains well. Keep the soil very moist; this plant naturally occurs in wet areas and can thrive even in standing water, though it also tolerates average soil. It attracts butterflies and bees.
Harvesting: The unusual blooms of this plantain plant are best enjoyed outdoors, since they are not suitable for cut flowers.
Seed Saving: As soon as the seed comes loose easily from the head, it has matured. Collect the heads of ripe seed and spread them out to dry completely. Rub them to separate the seed from the husk. Store Prairie Indian plantain seeds in a cool, dry place.
