For best results, sow directly outdoors from September to October. This fall sowing allows for natural stratification of dormant seeds over winter. For indoor growing, start seeds from February to early March in a soilless mix. Maintain a germination temperature of 68°F (20°C) for 14 to 21 days. Place seedlings under light at a slightly cooler temperature before hardening off and transplanting to a sunny location. Space mature plants 10 to 12 inches apart in the garden.
This easy-to-grow native plant is ideal for beautifying your outdoor spaces while respecting the environment.
