Known for their daisy-like flowers with long golden yellow petals and a dark brown or black center, they also have hairy leaves (hence the species name \u003cem\u003ehirta)\u003c\/em\u003e, and medicinal roots (much like their cousin Echinacea). Our seeds were harvested from our pollinator beds, where bees and butterflies enjoyed the nectar, and birds enjoyed eating the seeds. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDays to maturity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 60-120\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSeeds per pack:\u003c\/strong\u003e 275-300\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGermination rate:\u003c\/strong\u003e 91% on 01\/21\/2026\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePlanting \/ harvesting notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSow seeds indoors on the surface of the soil 6 weeks before the last frost. They need light and good soil contact for germination. Transplant after frost 18\" apart. Plant in full sun and in well-drained soil.
