Want to attract more butterflies to your garden? This quick-growing annual produces vivid orange-red dahlia-like flowers from mid-summer on. Its leaves are, soft, dark green a& lobed. Plants can reach up to 6' tall & 2' wide, filled w/ blossoms in just a few months. Butterflies love them! I can always count on finding them where this plant is growing! Flowers are great for cutting too!

Grows best in hot, sunny weather.

Start indoors 4-6 weeks before last frost date and plant out after danger of frost has passed. Or sow directly into garden in late spring. Avoid exposing seedlings to cold.

Personally, I direct sow.

This plant is attractive to bees, butterflies and/or birds

Resistant to deer. Flowers are good for cutting!

BEWARE ROSE SEEDS! There are GOOD AND VALID reasons why we don't see rose seeds sold in big garden centers. More info here; http://goo.gl/0UJZry

BEWARE of home collected seeds from hybrid plants. They're no longer the same variety. Ask questions. Research >reliable< sources. Learn to succeed in your gardening efforts!

BEWARE AND AVOID -- GREEN bell peppers are UNRIPE bell peppers & aren't likely to provide VIABLE seeds. There are very few varieties that produce bell peppers that ripen to green. Same for GREEN Jalapeno & most other pepper varieties. It only take minutes to check the variety & discover the color of the RIPE pepper.

Apple seeds? Mercy! Don't get me started! JUST RUN AWAY!
