Growing in many different habitats, it forms large stands that we know as the sage sea. 8-16 in. tall. Hardy 4-10.

 

Surface broadcasting onto snow or soil and then pressing down the seed into the soil usually produces the best results. If planting in cells and/or indoors, stratification is recommended. Please reach out with any questions.
