Hardy Perennial. A vigorous charmer for the wildflower garden with slim and delicate blossoms that are in a pleasing combination of soft red and rich yellow. The foliage is lacy and forms an attractive clump. You may store seeds indoors in your refrigerator for 3 weeks, then sow at 70-75 degrees; keep uncovered as seeds need light for germination. Apply mulch in winter and keep the faded blooms cut.
