Special Directions for Short Season Climates

SOWING: Sow seeds in place, in permanent location, covering seed with 1/4 inch fine soil. Plants may bloom and form pods if started in early spring. Can also be started in mid to late summer for blooms the following year.

THINNING AND SPACING: When seedlings are about 3 inches tall, thin to about a foot apart.

GERMINATION: About 2 weeks. Keep soil moderately moist during germination.

Ed's Special Advice

Plant in a mostly sunny or partly shady location. Plants thrive with neglect in average garden soil. Cut stems of plants as soon as seed pods start to turn brown. Strip leaves from plants and hang small bunches of plants upside down in a dry, shady spot. You may also need to carefully rub off outside of pod to reveal the silvery center.
