In the South it can be treated as a hardy biennial but in the 
colder climates, it may die out in the winter. Sow the seed 
very early in the spring indoors and transplant after heavy 
frosts are over. Or sow seed in the summer for next spring’s 
blooms. The single flowers are of much neater appearance than 
the doubles.
