Know before you buy
No, Ammobium seeds require light to germinate. Press them gently into the surface of your seed-starting mix rather than burying them.
Ammobium is a 'cut-and-come-again' variety, meaning the more you harvest, the more it will bloom. Regularly cutting the stems for bouquets or drying will encourage the plant to produce new flowers throughout the season.
Yes, they are excellent for drying. Because they have a naturally papery, dried-like texture even when fresh, they hold their shape and color very well once preserved.
For optimal airflow and growth, space your Ammobium plants about 9 inches apart.
You should start your seeds indoors in the spring. This gives the plants a head start before they are transplanted outside once the danger of frost has passed.
