Gardener Tips
For continuous harvest, sow in succession 3-4 times, every 3-4 weeks. Direct sow, it is not recommended to transplant. Can be planted in the fall if winters are mild. Roots are sensitive.
Harvesting Tips
For fresh arrangements, cut stems when the blooms are newly open and the delicate bracts are fully formed. Harvest in the cool of the morning for best vase life.
Love in a Mist is prized for its ornamental seed pods. Allow pods to mature on the plant until they are fully formed, firm, and turning from green to tan before harvesting. Hang stems upside down or lay them flat in a dry, well-ventilated space. Once fully dry, pods can be used in dried arrangements or opened to collect seed.
Remove spent flowers to encourage more blooms.
Seed Saving
Seeds are ready when they rattle inside the pod. Gently crush pods to release seeds and store them in a cool, dry place for future sowing.
If seed saving isn’t a priority, simply allow pods to open naturally in the garden. Love in a Mist readily self seeds and often returns the following season.
