How to Grow Start seed indoors 6–8 weeks before your last frost, or direct sow after frost danger has passed. Press seed onto the soil surface and keep it consistently moist, as Cherry Brandy needs light to germinate. Transplant or thin seedlings to their final spacing once true leaves appear. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage continued flowering into fall.
Good to Know Cherry Brandy's deep coloring holds up especially well in dried arrangements — cut and hang blooms upside down in a cool, dark space for long-lasting dried flowers.
