Description
Transplant: Sow 4-6 weeks before the last frost. Barely cover seed. Bottom water or mist to avoid covering seeds with displaced soil. Harden off by growing at 62-65°F (17-18°C) and transplant outside after last frost.
Direct seed: After last frost, sow thinly, barely covering the seed. When seedlings have first true leaves, thin to 12-15″ apart.
Support may be necessary.
Harvest when the tassels begin to elongate and remove most of the foliage so the colourful ropes are more visible. Harvest when seed has begun to set and flowers feel firm to the touch. To dry, stand upright in a bucket or other tall container to maintain the draped appearance. A vase life of 7-10 days can be expected.
