Frilly double form. Original forms are native to northern Mexico, Texas and
Colorado. Note it grows in dry climate near water. Soil surface is dry but the taproots
have access to water below the surface.
Lots of good cultural info available from Sakata Seed America. Recommended light fertilizer for seedlings: 100-150ppm N from a balanced Calcium Nitrate based fertilizer. Maintain consistent temps for days 22-56, avoid temperatures over 75°F and under 45°F during active seedling growth period.
