Description

Dancing Petticoats brings a little choreography to the summer border. Fluted petals and tufted centers turn every breeze into movement, with apple-blossom pink, deep magenta, soft rose, and white flowers floating above airy foliage.

The tall, branching plants create a loose, meadowlike screen without feeling heavy. Their long stems are made for relaxed bouquets, and frequent cutting keeps this unusual blend dancing well into fall.

Sowing & Growing Instructions

Direct sow in full sun after frost, once the soil has warmed. Space seeds about 2 inches apart, cover 1/2 inch deep, and firm the soil gently. Keep the seedbed evenly moist through emergence.

For an earlier start, sow indoors 4–6 weeks before the last frost and provide warmth and strong light. Germination is typically 5–10 days under the source conditions. Transplant after frost without disturbing the roots more than necessary.

Thin or transplant to 8–12 inches apart. Avoid rich soil or excess fertilizer, which can favor foliage over flowers; water young plants regularly, then cut or deadhead often to extend bloom.
