Safe Seed Pledge: Agriculture and seeds provide the basis upon which our lives depend. We must protect this foundation as a safe and genetically stable source for future generations.
Grow in average, dry to medium wet, well-drained soil in full sun to part shade. Tolerant of wide range of soils except those that are poorly drained. Best when massed for stabilizing embankments or for hard-to-cover areas with poorer soils or for naturalizing in wild areas. To start seed indoors a hot water treatment is necessary. Soak seed in as hot as possible tap water for 72 hours. Rinse well and send to cold treatment for 90 to 120 days. Sow into container and cover to depth.
