HOW TO GROW
Sowing: Before planting the Illinois bundleflower seed for sale, pour 180 degrees F water over the seeds and soak them overnight to soften the seed coat and speed germination. After the last frost of spring, direct sow 1/4" deep and keep the soil consistently moist until germination, which should occur within 10-15 days. To start the seed indoors, sow them in a flat 4-6 weeks before the last frost of spring; keep the soil lightly moist and at a temperature of 70 degrees F until germination. Thin or transplant seedlings.
Growing: This plant tolerates most soils with the exception of heavy clay. Water seedlings until they have become established; mature plants can tolerate some drought, but appreciate occasional watering in dry periods. In favorable locations, this plant will self-sow readily.
Harvesting: This sensitive plant quickly wilts when touched, and is best displayed in the garden or prairie rather than as a cut flower.
Seed Saving: After flowering, this plant will produce unique round clusters of twisted seed pods. When ripe, the dark brown pods will split and reveal the mature reddish brown seeds. Shake the heads over a container to remove the seeds. Store the cleaned seeds in a cool, dry place.
