SOWING INSTRUCTIONS
To grow, sow seeds just beneath the soil surface and press them in gently. Germination usually takes 30 days in warm soil, but a 30-day cold period followed by warmth can speed up the process. Once germinated, transplant seedlings into pots for about 3 months before moving them to the garden. You can also direct sow in spring in a well-prepared bed. To prevent spreading, cut back flowers and mulch the crowns, which will keep seeds from maturing and improve soil health.
Germination Time: Approximately 30 Days in Warm Soil
Seed to Bloom: Approximately 50-90 Days
