(90 days) Open-pollinated. Annual. Also known as Tassel Flower. Well-loved by cottage gardeners for more than 300 years. This vigorous 2–4' branching annual sports long drooping red tassels that hold until frost. Makes a good border; stake and tie for neater appearance. Goes well with bachelor’s buttons, nicotiana or sunflowers. Start indoors at 70–75°, grow on at 62–65°. Avoid heavy fertilization. Space at least 1' apart for strong stems. May be air-dried by hanging upside down; use heat for better color. ~1,500 seeds/g. ③
