HOW TO GROW

Sowing: Direct sow in late fall, pressing into the surface of the soil. For spring planting, mix the seeds with moist sand and store in the refrigerator for 60 days before planting. Keep the soil consistently moist until germination.

Growing: Water seedlings occasionally until they become established. Mature plants prefer slightly dry soil and tolerate drought, in addition to growing well in clay or sandy soils. This plant attracts bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. It may self-seed in good growing conditions.

Harvesting: For cut flowers, choose stems with flowers that have just opened. Strip the foliage that will fall below the water level, and place in water immediately.

Seed Saving: After the flower petals fall from the head, the center cone will begin to develop seed. Remove the seed heads as soon as the stem beneath the cone begins to turn dry and brown. Spread the seed heads out to dry away from direct sunlight, then separate the small seeds from the stems by rubbing them lightly. Store the cleaned seed in a dry, cool place.

Rosin Weed

I received the seeds very quickly. I haven't planted the seeds yet as the weather has been unsettled here. I am also going to divide some with a daughter. I am anxious to get mine planted. Thank you for the fast service.

DESCRIPTION

Named for the resinous sap in its stems, this native wildflower sports vivid yellow flowers. This robust perennial grows well in clay or sandy soils, so it is a popular choice for native plantings.
Because of the resinous liquid its stems contain, this plant is commonly known as rosin weed. The genus name "Silphium" comes from the Greek word "silphion," the name of a plant with similar properties. Eighteenth century French botanist Andre Michaux recorded a description this species on one of his many journeys throughout America.
