"These are very easy to get to germinate--they are almost weeds here in SLC and will reseed very actively over time. In large areas, they fill in and create large swaths of deep red. I wouldn't plant the seeds in a small space but in a prairie/meadow type garden mixed with other wildflowers and grasses they are workhorses that look very lovely."
"I have grown these in both Utah and Idaho in non-irrigated areas. They thrive in both rocky and clay soil and look great with native Sagebrush and introduced Blanket Flower."
"I have never grown this flower before but have seen all across the southern plains and they are gorgeous plants. They can reseed easily , which for me is great. I love the bright colors, mixed with other wildflowers. They are extremely showy."
"In late spring I planted some Ratibida seeds in potting soil in some 2. 5"" pots and left the small plants in there for quite some time after they sprouted. I had the pots in a shady spot on the north side of my house, where they wouldn't dry out quickly in the day's sun. They grew very slowly. In August I planted the starts in a west-facing bed where there's lots of afternoon sun. That's when they started to take off. It's late October now, and I have some healthy plants with a few flowers. I expect these plants will have a very good start for next season. If you plant these, I think it's best to just plant them directly in the soil in a sunny bed."
"Grows in sunny areas of mixed pinyon pine and juniper forest, quick draining glacial moraine soil, average 12 inches annual precipitation at 5500 ft altitude. One of the few flowering plants that grow and reproduce on our South facing slopes. With supplemental irrigation they thrive."
