For best results: To improve germination rates: 1) soak seeds in warm water 8 hours just prior to planting. 2) Sow seeds in the fall to naturally undergo cold stratification during winter OR chill seeds in the fridge by placing them in a moist paper towel inside a sealed plastic bag 4-8 weeks ahead of spring planting.
To plant: Sow seeds ¼” deep in moist soil. The seeds need sun- light to germinate, so ensure they aren’t buried. Keep soil moist until germination (7-21 days). Full sun (6-8 hours/day) to part shade. Long lasting golden blooms from late June through October.
