Notes

It ranks among the more cold-hardy crops, and with some winter protection it keeps growing through light freezes. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. Heads are ready in 71 days. Bees and butterflies visit the flowers.
Pairs well with Red Sails lettuce, Berggarten sage, Creeping thyme, and Black Cherry tomato.
