Garden Uses: Butterfly & Bee Gardens
​Direct sow in early spring as early as the soil can be worked. Sow seeds 1/4" deep in a sandy soil that has a PH of 6.0 - 7.5.  Space your seeds 12" apart and keep the soil lightly moist until germination occurs. If starting the seed indoors, keep in mind that the best temperature for germination is 55-60 degrees F. 
Water seedlings until they become established; control weeds. Mature plants tolerate heat and drought well, and flourish in rocky or sandy soil. They also grow well in average garden soil. Deadhead spent blossoms unless seeds are wanted. This plant often self-sows, and is highly attractive to bees, hummingbirds, and butterflies.
​For cut flowers, choose stems with flowers that have just opened. Strip the foliage that will fall below the water level, and place in water immediately.
​After the plant begins to turn brown, the seeds will begin to ripen on the stem. Gather the seeds as soon as they have turned brown; watch them carefully to prevent loss, since the seeds can easily drop. Store the seeds in a cool, dry place.
​Use for spaces between chaparral shrubs along with other annuals or perennial herbs such as Poppy (Eschscholzia or Papaver sp.), Baby Blue Eyes (Nemophila menziesii), Cream Cups (Platystemon californicus), and with geophytes such as Onion (Allium sp.), Mariposa Lily (Calochortus sp.), and Blue Dicks (Dichelostemma capitatum). Also useful around various cactus and succulents such as Dudleya sp.
