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. Keep the soil lightly moist until germination, since this seed cannot germinate in dry soil.
Growing: Water seedlings occasionally until they become established. This plant prefers dry and sandy soil, and tolerates drought extremely well. It also adapts well to various soil types such as clay, and gravel. This plant establishes itself rather slowly, but may eventually spread by self-seeding. This plant makes an very good choice for erosion control. It is also a popular ornamental plant, and the seeds attract small birds.
Seed Saving: At the end of the season, the seed heads will begin to ripen. Strip the mature seed from the stem; gloves may be necessary for protection. Spread the seed out and allow it to dry completely. Store the seed in a cool, dry place.
