1. Collect seeds

1. Collect seeds

It is an annual herbaceous plant, and seeds need to be collected to continue planting in the next year. Its flowering period is from June to July, and it can be harvested from August to September after the flowers bloom. Cut the whole grass and expose it to the sun. Take out the seeds in the plant and save them for sowing in the next spring.

2. Select soil

The soil requirements are not strict and there are not many restrictions. If it is planted on the ground, you can choose a sunny place, which can be satisfied in a normal garden. If you want to plant pots, you can prepare suitable loam soil to ensure ventilation, drainage, and a certain degree of looseness, so as to fully ensure growth.

3. Sowing

If sowing in the open field, you can choose mid-to-early April in spring. Loosen the selected loam and sow the seeds in. The seeds cannot be stored for too long. It is best to use new seeds from last year. If the seeds emerge in two years, the germination rate will be reduced. After sowing, cover it with a thin layer of soil. Do not cover it with thick soil, otherwise it will be difficult for the seedlings to emerge.

4. Post-sowing maintenance

After sowing, pay attention to moisturizing, water inside in time, and do not make the pot soil too dry.
