Direct sow in late spring after danger of frost has passed, or start indoors 5-6 weeks before last frost. Sow seeds shallowly, barely covering them with soil, and keep moist but not wet until seeds have germinated. Watering with a mister is recommended to keep the seeds in place. Ideal germination temperature is around 70 degrees F. Sweet Annie performs best in full sun, but isn't fussy about soil; it will do just fine in average garden soil. Harvest foliage as desired throughout the season and use fresh or dried, for scent, in bouquets, or for medicinal preparations.
