Planting & Care Instructions

Seed Sowing & Germination

1. Direct Sowing (Recommended):

   • Sow seeds after the last frost when soil temperatures reach 65-75°F.
   • Choose a full sun location with well-draining sandy or rocky soil.
   • Lightly press seeds into the soil surface and do not cover deeply, as they require light to germinate.
   • Keep the soil lightly moist until germination occurs in 10-20 days.

2. Container Sowing:

   • Use a well-draining potting mix with sand or perlite.
   • Place in full sunlight and water sparingly.

Growing & Maintenance

• Sunlight: Requires at least six to eight hours of direct sunlight daily.
• Soil: Prefers dry, well-draining, sandy, or gravelly soil; avoid heavy clay.
• Watering: Minimal water needed once established; drought-tolerant.
• Fertilization: No fertilizer needed; thrives in nutrient-poor soils.
• Pruning: Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming.

Best Uses

• Rock Gardens and Xeriscaping: Thrives in hot, dry conditions.
• Wildlife and Pollinator Gardens: Supports butterflies and beneficial insects.
• Container Gardening: Grows well in pots and planters.
• Roadside and Hillside Landscaping: Excellent for erosion control and low-maintenance areas.
