How To Grow
GROWER TIP: Strawflower plants develop a fibrous root system, so they do pretty well with transplanting. Start indoors 6 to 8 weeks prior to the last frost. Scatter the seed to the surface of the soil as light is required for germination. Direct sow or transplant when temperatures are at least a steady 65F.
