Growing Tips: Start seeds indoors in very early spring (or late summer for fall blooms). These seeds require darkness to germinate, so cover the soil surface with cardboard or enclose pots in black plastic, and remove as soon as sprouts begin to appear. Grow in full sun to partial shade. This variety prefers cool, moist, woodsy soil and cool-to-cold temperatures. It may occasionally self-sow.
