When to Grow

Plan on a spring sowing, and start about a week ahead of it: seeds germinate more successfully after a week of cold stratification in the fridge. Surface sow the stratified seed rather than burying it, and allow 21 to 28 days for germination. Give plants full sun and about 8 inches of space, with roughly 80 to 90 days to maturity and ideal temperatures of 65 to 70°F. Golden Yellow is a frost-hardy perennial for zones 3 through 8, blooming generously in spring and often rewarding you with a second flush in summer.
