Sowing, Seeds, Planting | Sow at any time, in a well-lit position, into a good, soil-based compost. Cover seeds thinly and keep moist at around 15°C. Seedlings should be potted on and grown on singly, or in clumps for more rapid establishment of a large specimen. Prefers a fertile soil in full sun, add plenty of organic matter to the soil before planting. Add grit to the base of the hole on heavy ground. Water until established. Plant in groups of 3 or more. Sprinkle mycorrhizal fungi (Rootgrow) into the base of the planting hole and water well after planting. |
Care Tips | The fresh and dried seed stalks are wonderful in flower arrangements. Flower stems can be left on the plant through winter. They will naturally die back, but tidy up in spring by cutting back stems close to ground level. |
Flowering | July - August |
Vase Life | No conditioning needed. |
Harvesting | Flower production: 2 months, and seed heads for at least twice this time. |
