When to Grow

White lace flower is slow off the mark, and it does best sown where it is to grow: direct sow in place once the last frost has passed, as this annual is not frost hardy, and thin to a final distance of 8 to 12 inches. Sow when the soil has warmed to about 70 F, and keep the surface-sown seed evenly moist for the full 14 to 21 days it can take to germinate. Allow 95 to 110 days to flowering, and sow a fresh batch every 3 weeks from late spring to midsummer for a long run of the alabaster blooms.

How to Sow and Plant

  • Start indoors 6-8 weeks before the last spring frost.
  • Sow seeds 1/16 in deep.
  • Keep moist until seeds sprout.
  • The ideal soil temperature for germination is 70 F.
  • Seeds sprout in 14-21 days.

How to Grow

  • Plant in full to partial sun in a fertile, well-draining location.
  • In particularly hot climates lace flower will benefit from afternoon shade.
  • Space plants 8-12 in apart.
  • Succession sow every 3 weeks from late spring to mid-summer for continuous blooms.

PESTS/SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS

  • Fertilize occasionally if the lace flower is planted in nutrient-poor soil.

How to Save Seeds

  • Shake dried flower heads over a paper bag or a plate.
  • Use your hands to remove any remaining seeds from the flower head.
  • Store in a cool, dry, and dark place until you are ready to plant.
