Symbolism: Positivity, Adoration, Strength, Loyalty, and Longevity.
Annual and Perennial (Dependent on type)
Great cutting flowers for floral arrangements or to simply enjoy in your garden
Seeds germinate easily (99 % successful rate)
Sow directly on ground during the months of September – December to produce spring flowers. ( I live in Plant Hardiness Zone 9 (California, with mild winters)
Spacing 6-12 inches apart and 1 inch in depth. Preferably multiple rows, if your garden allows it to create a beautiful uniform visual effect.
After flower dies, dried seeds are visible for picking from head and could be saved for next year planting.
