Sow seed in cell packs or flats, press into soil but do not cover. Needs light to germinate. Kept at 70° F., germination is in 14-25 days. Transplant into the garden 12-18 inches apart.

Comments: Full sun. Widely adapted, will tolerate cold climates as well as desert heat (in light shade), does not thrive in Deep South regions which are both hot and humid. With good drainage, poor soil is easily accepted. Needs little water once established, will spread rapidly (and could become invasive) in moist soils. For best appearance, and to restrict spread, cut back hard after bloom. If bare patches develop, divide and replant in early spring or autumn. Deer and rabbit resistant.
