Growing instructions: 
 
Self-sowing annual. Germination 70°F, 7-21 days. Direct sow or transplant. Full sun or part shade. Height 48-72 in. It tolerates most soils if well-drained, and is requires little care once established. This annual comes back every year through self-sowing. Sow seed indoors six weeks before last frost and transplant after all danger of frost. Or direct sow on bare soil in the fall. In long-season areas, spring sow outside after last frost. Prune these large plants as needed. Under some conditions, this plant can invasively self-sow (though it’s easy to remove and smells great as you weed it). Remove flowers to control self-sowing. For dried flowers, harvest when flower heads have developed. Hang upside down in a dark, ventilated space until thoroughly dry. To save seed, harvest mature flowers, dry, and shake seeds into a large paper bag. Seed is difficult to clean and contains some light chaff.
