  • Avoid Deep Planting: Sow seeds near the surface of prepared growing medium.

  • Provide Adequate Spacing: Allow room for mature stems and foliage.

  • Monitor Plant Spread: Remove unwanted seedlings and flowering stems before seeds disperse.

Seed Storage

  • Cool Storage: Keep seeds in a cool location away from excessive heat.

  • Dry Conditions: Store thoroughly dried seeds in moisture-resistant containers.

  • Light Protection: Protect stored seeds from direct sunlight.

  • Proper Labeling: Record the botanical name, seed lot, and storage date.

  • Seed Rotation: Use older seed lots first and check germination before larger sowings.

Growing Instructions

1. Planting Season: Where cultivation is permitted, start seeds indoors during late winter or sow outdoors in spring or autumn.
2. Soil Preparation: Prepare fertile, moisture-retentive, well-draining soil. Remove weeds and loosen the upper soil layer before planting.
3. Seed Preparation: Use fresh seeds whenever possible. Check the supplier's seed-specific instructions before applying optional dormancy treatments.
4. Sowing Method: Distribute seeds thinly over moist seed-starting medium. Press gently into the surface for soil contact.
5. Sowing Depth: Surface sow or cover with a very thin layer of fine growing medium. Avoid deep burial.
6. Plant Spacing: Allow approximately 18–24 inches between established plants to accommodate upright growth.
7. Sunlight Requirements: Provide full sun to partial shade. Maintain suitable moisture in exposed planting locations.
8. Watering: Keep the growing medium evenly moist during germination. Water established plants during extended dry periods.
9. Germination: Maintain temperatures around 60–70°F. Emergence varies with seed freshness, growing conditions, and individual seed lots.
10. Transplanting: Move seedlings into individual containers after true leaves develop. Gradually acclimate plants before outdoor transplanting.
11. Fertilizing: Incorporate finished compost or apply modest amounts of balanced fertilizer when soil conditions require it.
12. Plant Care: Remove competing weeds, monitor rhizomatous growth, and remove unwanted flower heads before seed dispersal.
13. Flowering and Pollination: Established plants produce branching clusters of small white to pale pink flowers during late spring and summer. Visiting insects may pollinate the blossoms.
14. Maturity and Seed Harvesting: Where collection is permitted, gather mature seeds before wind dispersal. Dry appropriately and store in labeled containers.
