Hardy Perennial. Grown for its lacy, fern-like foliage and large, flat flower heads. It is hardy and easy to grow. Drought resistant and will tolerate average to poor soil, making it a good choice for a problem spot in the garden as well as in the border. Removing the faded flower heads will promote better flowering. Flowers in their peak may be cut and hung to dry. They are very popular in dried floral arrangements. You will find that this may become an invasive plant but it is easy to divide and is fun to share with your gardening friends. For best results, divide every 3 to 5 years in early spring or autumn or you may also propagate by softwood cuttings in early summer. If you are sowing seeds, do not cover them as they need light to germinate.
