MORE INFO:

Sowing: Since this plant does not tolerate being transplanted, direct sowing is the best method. In late fall or early spring, sow the seed just below the surface in full sun or partial shade. Germination should take place within 14-21 days at 60-70 degrees F.

Growing: This plant grows in almost any soil, and does especially well in dry or poor soil. Good drainage is essential. It does not need watering unless drought conditions persist. Though it tolerates some drought, high heat and humidity will have a damaging effect on this plant. Since it spreads easily but does not become invasive, it makes an attractive native groundcover; it also grows well in rock gardens. After flowering, cut the stems back for attractive new growth. After two or three years of growing, divide the plant. This plant attracts butterflies and bees, and resists deer.
