From burnished bronze foliage, the elegant flower heads reach toward the sky like flames showcasing incredible pink and white bursts. An edible ornamental delight that looks stunning growing in borders with its opulent dark leaves. Due to its shorter growing, compact nature (12 to 16 inches) this variety also performs well in pots and containers. A choice type for cut flowers.

Growing Guide

When to Grow

Start Bronze Dragon 6 to 8 weeks ahead of your last frost date and transplant the young plants outdoors once the last frost has passed. Surface sow the seed, which germinates in 10 to 14 days at an ideal germination temperature of 60 to 70°F. Space plants 6 to 12 inches apart in full sun, and allow 100 to 120 days to maturity.

How to Sow and Plant

  • Seeds germinate in 7-21 days.
  • Sow seeds 6-8 weeks before last frost and transplant outdoors after last frost.
  • Ideal germination temperature is 60-70 F.

How to Grow

  • Prefers full sun.
  • Provide rich, well-drained soil. Space plants 6-12 inches apart.
  • Pinch the main growing stems when plants are 2-4 inches tall; this helps to keep plants well branched.

PESTS/SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS

  • Leaf spots, rusts and molds can be a result of poor air circulation.
  • To avoid, space plants farther apart and keep foliage dry.

How to Save Seeds

  • Seeds are easy to collect.
  • They are super small and contained within capsules that will turn brown and dry when seeds are ready to harvest.
  • Hand pick the capsules individually or snip stalks and shake seeds free into a paper bag.
  • Store in a cool, dark, dry, place.

FAQ

Is Bronze Dragon suitable for pots?

Yes. Its shorter, compact habit of 12 to 16 inches means it performs well in pots and containers, and it is also a choice type for cut flowers.

What makes this variety look so different?

The foliage is a burnished bronze, and from it the elegant flower heads rise with bursts of pink and white. It is an edible ornamental that looks stunning growing in borders.

How do I get a full pot rather than a single spike?

Pinch the main growing stems when plants are 2 to 4 inches tall. On a compact 12- to 16-inch variety like this one that early pinch is what branches the plant out to fill a container, and it leaves you more stems to cut.
