Planting & Care
Planting & Care
Soil & Water: Prefers full sun and regular garden soil or poor soil. Requires consistent moisture.
Planting & Growing: Sow seeds about 1/2" deep. Germination in 1 to 3 weeks. Thin plants to 3 ft apart.
Harvesting & Storage: Harvest seed heads when purple flowers dry to white fluff. Wear gloves, cut off the partially dried capitulae and drop in a bucket, further dry in the sun for a few days, then wail with a stick until the seedhead is well broken apart, and screen and wind winnow until you get pure seed.
