Description
Perky globe-shaped flowers are long lasting in a sunny garden, in cut flower bouquets, and as a dried flower. Plants are heat and drought tolerant. To dry, cut stems shortly after flowers open. Tie stems together and hang upside down in a dark, well-ventilated area until dry.
Start indoors about 6-8 weeks before the last frost date. Sow outdoors after soil has warmed and there is no chance of frost. Prefers full sun, good drainage, and non-alkaline soil. Keep plants evenly moist and remove faded flowers to prolong blooming. Soak seeds in water overnight to aid germination.
