From seed  |
Plant sets very little viable seed. Not sure of best germination procedure.
detailed seed-starting info below

Finely divided attractive dark green foliage rises straight upward on bluish green stems. Profusion of flowers in late summer. Birds love 'm. Given the space it needs, this is a wonderful, carefree larger plant. The clump slowly expands, and can be divided in spring.
