They do like their space, so we plant in rows 24\" inches apart with 12\" spacing in row - if you direct seed, thin to 8-12\" around the plant to let them really shine and for the biggest, most prolific flowers. We pick the flowers off the stems 1-2 times per week for about a month when they are in peak bloom! The more you pick, the more they bloom - I swear by the time we get to the end of picking a row, the first plants have started blooming again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey take some time to dry - about 2 weeks depending on conditions - but retain their beautiful orange color for months if kept out of direct sunlight.
