When to Grow

Sow King Size Silvery White indoors 4-6 weeks before your last frost date and transplant outdoors after the last frost, or direct seed once the last frost has passed. Germination takes 10-20 days at a germination temperature of 70-75°F. Surface sow and press the seed into the soil rather than burying it, because light aids germination. Blooms follow about 75-80 days from sowing, and the plants are not frost hardy.

How to Save Seeds

  • To save seeds, allow the flowerhead containing the seeds to completely mature and dry on the plant, then clip it off and place in a container.
  • Working over the top of another clean, opened container, rub the flowerheads to separate the seeds.
  • Store over winter in a cool, dark, dry place.
