One of wildflowers that is also a popular garden annual. It is easy to grow with no special soil treatment. It prefers good soil, but will adapt to almost any environment except a constantly wet one. Ferny seedlings are easy to transplant.
A big favorite for roadside plantings since these large flowers make such a colorful show. Heavy bloom begins in midsummer and plants and flowers constantly increase until killed by frost. In warmer areas these flowers will easily reseed themselves. They thrive in hot and dry climates.
Easy and very dependable.
The best flowers for cutting.
The plant is attractive to bees, butterflies, and birds.
