Field Notes
Description:
One of the easiest and most versatile flowers to grow in a garden, especially since they tolerate most soils. In temperate climates, seeds are sown in spring for blooms that last throughout the summer and well into the fall. Seeds will germinate freely in sunny or half-sunny locations, but plants do best if planted in sunny locations with rich, well-drained soil.
Notes:
Used as a medicinal herb as well as a dye for fabrics, foods and cosmetics. Plant extracts are also widely used in cosmetics, presumably due to presence of compounds such as saponins, resins and essential oils.
