Seed Raising, Growing and Harvest Information

TRANSPLANT (Recommended): Start seed indoors in trays 6 weeks before transplant date. While cold hardy, transplant when threat of frost has passed.
Seed requires light to germinate so do not cover.

HARVESTING/VASE LIFE: Pick when 1/3-1/2 of the petals have opened but the tight bud is still covering the pollen. Vase life about 7 days.

If harvesting to dry, remove foliage and hang upside down. You can also put floral wire into the stem close to the bloom right after harvesting and the stem will dry onto the wire. Ensure flowers for drying are only 1/3 open as they continue to open while drying. Dry in a warm, dark place.
