Simply direct-sow the seeds wherever you'd like lots of quick, long-lasting color. (You can also start them indoors, germinating at about 65 degrees. If you do this, transplant them young so they can get established as soon as the spring soil has warmed up.) A little more than 2 months after germinating, the plants are in full bloom! The flowers are great in vases too, keeping their color and holding up their heads over a long period. And the plants will thrive even in poor dry soils, making them ideal for blazing-hot trouble spots as well as beds, borders, and walkways.
