GROWING TIPS
Start seed indoors 4-6 weeks before transplanting into the garden. Optimum soil temperature for seed germination is 70-75°F. Cover soil very lightly as seeds require light to germinate. Transplant to the garden 1-2 weeks after your average last frost date. Or, plant seeds directly in the garden after average last frost date. Strawflower is easy to grow, and perfect for containers. Give your plants full sun, moderate moisture, and well-drained soil, and they'll thrive in long, hot summers.
