Direct sow in spring, planting just below the surface of the soil. Keep the soil lightly moist until germination, which usually occurs within 1-2 weeks. This plant can also be started indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost of spring.
Water seedlings occasionally until they become established. Control weeds, since this plant does not do well with competition. Mature plants do fairly well in drought, though they adapt to well-drained moist soil. These plants also have excellent resistance to both heat and cold. It also grows well in rocky or sandy soil. This plant readily reseeds itself.
These blossoms do not perform well as cut flowers, and are best enjoyed outdoors.
After the flowers fade, oval pods will begin to develop. When ripe, each pod will split open into three sections that hold the ripe seeds. Remove the seeds. Since they lose their viability quickly, planting immediately will result in the best germination. If storing is necessary, keep the seed in the refrigerator until planting.
