A striking backdrop to fall\/winter decorations, as well as late summer color for borders, beds, and containers. Though perennial in USDA zones 3–9, it is often grown as an annual because it heartily spreads by self-sowing or by underground roots. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eCaution: Most parts of this plant are toxic if ingested.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"prod-desc\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"prod-desc\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFamily:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eSolanaceae\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNative:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eAsia and Europe\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHardiness:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ePerennial in USDA zones 3-9\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eExposure:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eFull sun\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBloom Period:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eSummer\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePlant Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e12\"–24\" tall\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eVariety Info:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eFlowers are small, white and star-shaped, with calyces that enlarge and change from green to red-orange in late summer\/fall\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAttributes:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eCut Flower\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhen to Sow Outside:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e1 to 2 weeks before your average last frost date, or in summer up to 2 months before your average first fall frost date.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhen to Start Inside:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eRECOMMENDED. 4 to 6 weeks before your average last frost date.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDays to Emerge:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e20–25 days\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeed Depth:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e⅛\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeed Spacing:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eA group of 3 seeds every 12\"–18\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThinning:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eWhen 4\" tall, thin to 12\"–18\" apart\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"prod-desc\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShop with confidence when you shop at Southern Agriculture.
