HOW TO GROW
Sowing: To soften the hard coating on these seeds, rub one side of each seed lightly with sandpaper and soak them in warm water overnight. Mix the seeds with moist sand and store in the refrigerator for 30 days before planting. Sow the seed in early spring, planting just below the surface of the soil. Keep the soil lightly moist until germination, which usually takes place within 7-14 days.
Growing: Water seedlings regularly until they become established. Though they flourish with occasional watering in especially dry weather, mature plants tolerate some drought in addition to growing in poor or sandy soil. Avoid fertilizing, since this tends to produce abundant foliage and few blooms. Deadhead to prolong blooming. This plant may self-seed, and attracts bees. It performs well as a container plant.
Harvesting: Though these blossoms do not last long as cut flowers, the entire plant is edible. Young leaves make excellent fresh greens, while the blossoms are often used as a garnish.
Seed Saving: After the flowers fade, the round seeds will develop in pairs in the dried flower head. Gather them as soon as they easily come loose from the stem. Spread the seed out to dry completely. Store the seed in a cool, dry place.

Great value
Fast shipping, great value, wonderfully packaged and easy to plant. We got these late this year (late July) so have just planned them, we are now simply waiting to see if and how long it will take for them to germinate. Hopefully we will have beautiful colors late into the fall here in western WA State AND, we have more than enough for planting next spring.

The packaging is great! I love that it is resealable. It is also aesthetically pleasing. Will review the seeds after I plant them.
