These well known flowers are among the most attractive and graceful of the old fashioned garden 
entaurea annuals. They are of easy culture but will amply repay any care or attention given them. 
Sow seed in early spring and transplant to open ground or sow in open ground as soon as the 
weather is warm and settled. Cover seed about one-fourth inch deep; thin to three or four inches apart. Fine for bedding or 
borders. The young plants are very sensitive to wet, and care should be taken to prevent water standing on the leaves. :

by division of roots.
