One of the earliest flowers to bloom in our garden.

Planting Tips:
  • Cool-season hardy annual that prefers full sun.
  • Planting seeds directly in the garden is preferred.
  • Cover seed; allow 7-14 days to germinate.
  • Thin seedlings once 5" tall to 9" apart in the garden.
  • Ht. 24"-36".
  • Winter hardy in zone 6 and south.
Harvesting Tips:
  • Make the first cut of the central stem at almost ground level, just above the lowest two to three leaves.

  • Leave a few flower heads on the plants in the garden to encourage reseeding.
