Growing guide
- Sowing
Plant seeds 4–6” apart outside in a sunny location in very early spring. Do not cover seed with soil; they require light to germinate. Press the seed gently into the soil and water well.
- Thinning
When plants are 3” tall, thin or transplant, allowing 15–18” between each plant.
- Germination
Seed often requires stratification (exposure to cold temperatures) first to break their dormancy. Expect germination in 7–14 days after the soil begins to warm.
- Remarks
Mature plants are drought & shade tolerant, and somewhat deer resistant. Leaves make a wonderful tea and the flowers are edible.
