• Planting Information:
  When and where to plant: Sow seeds in sandy, well-drained soil, with a little organic matter, in full sun or light shade as soon as soil can be worked in the Spring. Rich soil will cause poor flower production.
  Care: Keep well-drained. Keep soil weed free and moist, but not soggy.
  Harvesting: Pick flowers in full bloom, on a sunny day. Spread them to dry on a cloth or screen in the sun. Remove leaf and stem pieces. Store in an airtight container in a cool dry place.
  Storage: Store seed in cool, dry place. Heat and moisture can severely reduce germination.
