    I put them in planters all around the garden and they bloomed for a long time with some nipping off of spent heads. They’re lovely.

    I basically broadcast the seed with no special preparation to our soil. Once the seed took hold this flower grew to an amazing height. The plant size ranged from 24 to 36 inches in stature and produced flowers as pictured.
