THINNING: When plants are 2 inches high, thin to 8 to 12 inches apart. Does not transplant well.

Ed’s Special Advice: Plant in a sunny location with well drained soil. Once plants are well established, water only as needed. Thrives on a certain amount of neglect For cut flowers, cut stem just before buds open and sear stem end in flame immediately. For prolonged color sow successive plantings and remove old flower bases. May re-sow.
