Growing Guide

When to Grow

Start seeds 6 to 8 weeks before your region's last frost date and transplant the seedlings outdoors after the last frost has passed. Where winters are mild (Zones 7 to 10) you can also direct sow Tall Deluxe in late fall; in colder areas sow outdoors in spring as soon as the soil can be worked. These 30- to 36-inch flower spikes grow best in cool, early spring conditions, in rich soil with moderate moisture. Allow 100 to 120 days to maturity.

How to Sow and Plant

  • Seeds germinate in 7-21 days.
  • Sow seeds 6-8 weeks before last frost and transplant outdoors after last frost.
  • Ideal germination temperature is 60-70 F.

How to Grow

  • Prefers full sun.
  • Provide rich, well-drained soil. Space plants 6-12 inches apart.
  • Pinch the main growing stems when plants are 2-4 inches tall; this helps to keep plants well branched.

PESTS/SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS

  • Leaf spots, rusts and molds can be a result of poor air circulation.
  • To avoid, space plants farther apart and keep foliage dry.

How to Save Seeds

  • Seeds are easy to collect.
  • They are super small and contained within capsules that will turn brown and dry when seeds are ready to harvest.
  • Hand pick the capsules individually or snip stalks and shake seeds free into a paper bag.
  • Store in a cool, dark, dry, place.
