Easily grown in average, dry to medium, well-drained soils in full sun. Tolerates light shade. Best with consistent watering during the growing season, but once established, plants will tolerate some drought. Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before last frost date or plant seed directly in the garden after last frost date. Collect seed pods from favorite plants in fall for planting the following spring. If seed pods are not promptly removed, plants will self-seed, often aggressively. Hybrids may not come true from seed.
No serious insect or disease problems. Watch for aphids, spider mites and whiteflies. Susceptible to mildew and rust. Can be an aggressive self-seeder. You can gather seed pods when they turn brown, they have lots of seeds in side the pod.
I only mail out about once a week.
