Description
Erect plants produce 2 1/2″ yellow-lime green flowers. Excellent for mixed bouquet filler. Its well-branched 2′ stems, each stem fans out, an individual stem provides backdrop for an entire arrangement, either fresh or dried.
full sun, well drained soil 1/4″ deep. Germination usually takes 14-30 days. Thin them out to 40cm (16″) apart. Self Seeding annual.
Sown indoors 15-29C (59-84F), temp swings from 70 (21 C)daytime to 60 (15 C) nighttime is perfect. Seed prefer darkness to germinate so I put a seed tray over top until seeds spout. Very cold tolerant – plant out as soon as soil can be worked. Will self sow here in Zone 5. Outdoor Seeding: Here in Zone 5 can be direct seeded into the garden 6 weeks before last frost.
Flower farmers – plant 2 successions to keep stocked with this beautiful workhorse! For an extended harvest, sow successions of seeds every 2-3 weeks. Harvest when flowers are fully open otherwise they have a tendency to wilt. Fresh flowers last an incredibly long time in the vase with or without flower food for 7-10 days.
