TO START EARLY INDOORS

Five or six weeks before last expected frost date, sow seeds as thinly as possible in a container of seed starting mix. Cover lightly, keep warm and moist and provide a strong light source. When large enough to handle, transplant seedlings into a deeper container 2 inches apart so roots have growing room. When seedlings are 2 or 3 inches tall, transplant 10 inches apart after acclimating to outdoor conditions.

TO START OUTDOORS

When danger of frost is past, sow in full sun in well-drained, finely worked garden soil. Space tiny seeds as thinly as possible in rows 10 inches apart, cover about 1/4 inch deep and gently firm soil. Keep soil evenly moist while awaiting germination in 10 to 14 days. Thin before seedlings get crowded to a final spacing of 10 inches apart as plants need room to mature.

GROWING NOTES

These pretty white blossoms showing just a hint of yellow at their centers will add delicacy and freshness to your mixed summer bouquets. Keep spent flowers cut for rebloom all summer. Well-drained soil is important for long-lived feverfew plants.
