HOW TO GROW
Sowing: In order to germinate, this seed needs a warm moist treatment followed by a cold moist treatment. To accomplish this, mix the seed with moist sand and store it in a sealed plastic bag at 75-80 degrees F for 60-90 days. Make sure the soil is still moist, then place it in the refrigerator for 60-90 days. Plant the seeds outdoors in the spring, or plant several seeds each in peat pots and plant them out in the next season.
Growing: Keep the soil consistently moist but not wet. Mulch will help conserve moisture and control weeds. This plant may need protection from pests such as deer, rabbits, and slugs. In good growing conditions, this plant often spreads to form a colony. Mature plants can be divided and replanted in the fall. This plant attracts hummingbirds.
Harvesting: These blooms make excellent cut flowers. Choose stalks with flowers that have just opened and place them in water immediately; strip the foliage that will fall below the surface of the water.
Seed Saving: After blooming, this plant will produce seed pods that eventually split to release papery brown seeds. Watch the pods carefully and gather the seed as soon as it has ripened. Store in a cool, dry place.
