Seed Planting Depth: Sow on the surface and lightly cover
Starting Indoors: Start indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost. Provide 60-70ºF soil temperatures. Transplant after the last frost, 12-24" apart or transplant seedlings close together. We like to make a 12-18” circle of closely planted seedlings, for a full-looking plant in the first few seasons.

Light Needs: Full sun, part shade

Harvest: Flowers and leaves when flowers are in peak bloom. Harvest the top part of the plant, cutting off at a few nodes under the flowers. This allows new growth and more flowers. Use fresh or dry to preserve
Uses: Edible flowers, culinary and medicinal, flowers attract pollinators and beneficials, cut flowers
Care: Divide every few years. Do not overwater and plant in areas with good air circulation, which helps with powdery mildew
