HOW TO GROW
Sowing: Direct sow in fall for the earliest blooms, or after the last spring frost for early summer bloom. Plant more every several weeks for continuous flowers. These plants can also be started indoors in peat pots; sow just below the surface of the soil, keeping it evenly moist and at a temperature of 65-70 degrees F. Germination usually occurs within 15-20 days. Transplant outdoors as soon as they can safely be handled and there is no chance of frost.
Growing: Keep the soil moist but not soggy. This plant self-seeds freely, but can be cut back after blooming to prevent spreading. This plant makes an excellent ground cover or border plant, and attracts bees and butterflies.
Harvesting: These blooms make excellent cut flowers. Choose stalks with flowers that have just opened and place them in water immediately; strip the foliage that will fall below the surface of the water.
Seed Saving: After the flowers fade, the seeds will develop; each flower produces five seeds that drop to the ground when ripe. Collect the seeds as soon as they begin to turn brown. Store in a cool, dry place.
