Planting & Care
Planting & Care
Soil & Water:Plant prefers full sun and regular watering. Soil can be regular or even poor garden soil.
Planting & Growing: Sow the seed in the early spring. The seed is a cold-soil germinator. If you are not planting in the early spring, or garden in a warmer climate and warm soil, then it is best to pre-treat the seeds in moist medium in the refrigerator (not the freezer) for 2 weeks before sowing warm.Tap-rooted plants are best sown in-situ, in the garden bed. These large plants are best spaced at least 2 feet apart.
Harvesting & Storage: Harvesting of root should be done from the second year onward.

This is the best burlap I have ever had. Have purchased these 3 times. They're strong and hemmed, no strings hanging ever. They're great to shade veggies and keep heavy winds from blowing young plants over. Love 'em!
Great Stuff!
For the first time ever I will know what I planted at the end of the season! No fade & no running ink.
We get so many compliments about this flower. It looks like a small lily with tentacles or antennae. The flowers are so bright red, they really do pop. The curling of the petals gives this a unique look that really stands out! These are supposed to multiply so I'm excited to see this flower mature.
The deer in my area run out of food and will pretty much eat anything. Even things that should be deer-resistant. Something about this flower makes them think twice. This flower never gets eaten. Not only does this flower look beautiful it brings the pollinators. I'm going to plant more!
No flowers are visible yet, but the plants look very healthy. I'm excited to see them when they finally bloom.
This weeder is one of the best tools I have added to my collection. I have had other stand-up weeders. They all work great and eliminate the need to bend over. This one stands apart from the others with its 4 claw design. The extra claws give it extra grip for the hard weeds. I did not expect to use the weed ejector, but having that to drop the weeds into my bucket is a bonus. Forget about Grandpa, this is the one!
