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. Mature plants do well in either moist or dry soil, and tolerate drought. This plant adapts well to various soil types such as sand, clay, and gravel. It will spread by self-seeding. Mature plants can be divided. This plant makes an very good choice for erosion control, wetland restoration, and strengthening stream banks. It is also a popular ornamental plant, and the seeds attract small birds.
Seed Saving: At the end of the season, the seeds on the stem will begin to ripen to their mature brown color. Strip the mature seed from the stem and store it in a cool, dry place.
