Sowing: Plant these seeds directly outdoors, as the long roots need room to grow and don’t like being disturbed. In late spring, once the soil warms to 70-75 degrees F, sow several seeds together about 1" deep and 6" apart in rich, well-drained soil; expect germination in 8-10 days. You might need to use netting or a screen to protect the seeds from birds or animals as they start to sprout; keep the soil moist. Thin out to the strongest seedlings.
Growing: Water the seedlings from time to time as they grow. Once mature, these plants handle drought well, but they might benefit from regular fertilization for optimal growth. Be careful not to overwater, as this can lead to disease. This plant is a magnet for bees, butterflies, and birds.
