HOW TO GROW
Sowing: Direct sow Rattlesnake Master seeds in late fall, planting the seeds 1/4" deep and lightly compacting the soil. For spring planting, mix the seed with moist sand and store it in the refrigerator for 60 days before direct sowing; keep the soil consistently moist until germination. Thin or transplant the seedlings.
Growing: Water seedlings occasionally until they become established. Mature plants tolerate heat and drought, though they appreciate watering in dry periods. This plant adapts well to sandy, rocky, or clay soils. It may self-sow in good growing conditions, and makes an excellent choice for prairie plantings, landscaping, or perennial gardens. It attracts bees and butterflies, as well as resisting deer.
Harvesting: This unusual plant makes a striking addition to both fresh and dried flower arrangements.
Seed Saving: The spiky white heads of this plant will eventually turn brown; they should be gathered before they begin to crumble. Cut the seed heads and spread them out to dry. Separate the Rattlesnake Master seed from the husks, and store the cleaned seed in a cool, dry place.
