HOW TO GROW
Sowing: Direct sow in late fall, planting just below the surface. For spring planting, mix the Oregon sunshine seed with moist sand and store it in the refrigerator for 60-90 days before sowing. Thin or transplant seedlings.
Growing: This plant adapts well to areas with dry, rocky or sandy soil. Water seedlings until they become established. Mature plants tolerate drought well, and prefer dry soil. Excess moisture or poorly draining soil can cause disease. This plant develops quickly, blooming in their first season of growth. If blooming decreases, cut the plant back for new growth and blossoms. This plant spreads quickly if allowed to self-seed; to prevent this, remove the flowers after they have finished blooming but before the seed matures. This plant attracts butterflies and bees.
Harvesting: For fresh flowers, cut long stems of flowers that have just opened and place them in water immediately; strip the leaves that will fall below the water.
Seed Saving: After flowering, the plant will produce small seed heads with mature black seed. Harvest the heads as soon as they ripen, since they soon drop their seed. Remove the heads and spread them out to dry, then thresh them to separate the Eriophyllum Lanatum seed from the husk. Store the Oregon sunshine seed in a cool, dry place.
