Culture Notes
Seeds can be gathered after flowering in the summer and sown in the spring, but this plant self seeds very easily. When removing the plants at the end of the season, gloves may be necessary as the stems are rather thorny. Known for their long-lasting, spider-shaped blossoms, deadheading spent blooms will prolong this process.
