Blooms second spring from seed. *** HOW TO GROW: Plant in fertile, moist, well-drained soil and full sun or partial shade; this flower appreciates being shielded from the midday sun. Mature plants tolerate some dryness, but should be watered in the heat of summer. Hot and humid weather may cause the plant to wilt, since this plant prefers cool weather and can survive light frosts. Flowers planted from seed will bloom in their second year of growth. After blooming, the foliage will die off. Established plants can be divided, though they will self sow readily; volunteer plants can easily be transplanted. Its natural growth in rocky areas makes it a good choice for rock gardens. *** **SOIL Temperature for Germination: 70F **Sowing Rate: 3 - 4 seeds per plant. **Plant Spacing: 12-15 inches. **Hardiness: Zones 3-10. **Sun Requirement: Full Sun. **Days to Germination: 21-28 days. **Germination Rate: 95%.

For spring planting, mix the seed with moist sand and store it in the refrigerator for 60 days before direct sowing after the last frost. The seed can also be started indoors.
Depth: DO NOT COVER but press into soil! SOIL temperature MUST be kept at 70F for proper germination!!! Cool soil, particularly at night can inhibit or significantly delay germination. Overly warm soils, well above 90F, can inhibit germination and provide ideal conditions for seed rot.
Keep soil moderately moist, though not overly, dripping wet. Water soil when the soil surface just begins to dry.
