HOW TO GROW
Sowing: Direct sow either in late fall or early spring. Plant the seed just below the surface of the soil, compacting the soil very firmly. For spring planting, mix the seeds with moist sand and store in the refrigerator for 60 days before planting. Keep the soil lightly moist until germination.
Growing: Water seedlings regularly until they become established. This plant adapts well to either dry or moist soil, as well as growing in sand or clay. It also has good tolerance for drought, though the foliage may die back somewhat in especially dry weather. This plant attracts small birds and resists deer.
Seed Saving: At the end of the season, the seed heads will begin to turn from green to brown. Remove them as soon as they ripen to their mature brown color, and spread them out to dry. Thresh them to separate the seed from the stems. Store the seed in a cool, dry place.
