Direct sow in fall in well-drained, dry to moderately moist, slightly acidic to neutral soil in full sun — standing cypress is a native biennial of the southeastern coastal plain and Gulf Coast, producing one of the most dramatic and unique effects in the spring-summer garden: an erect, rigid, 3–5 foot spike densely clothed in feathery, bright green, cypress-like foliage, then crowned the second year with hundreds of tubular, brilliant scarlet-orange flowers from May through July. The flowers are among the most intensely attractive to ruby-throated hummingbirds of any plant in the eastern flora — a single plant in bloom will hold hummingbirds all day. Because it is biennial, sow seed each fall to maintain continuous bloom from a mixture of first- and second-year plants. It self-sows reliably in sandy, open, sunny soil to maintain naturalized colonies. An outstanding plant for formal and naturalistic gardens alike wherever a vivid vertical accent and hummingbird attraction are desired. Спосіб посадки: Посів у відкритий ґрунт Відстань між рослинами: 12–18 дюймів Висота: 24–60 дюймів Дні до схожості: 10–21 Температура ґрунту для схожості: 16–21°C

Sow every year to maintain a continuous supply of blooming plants.
