Why Choose Standing Cypress?

• Trumpet-shaped flowers: Scarlet, rose, or pale pink blooms bring vivid seasonal color to flower beds.
• Hummingbird nectar: Flowers offer a nectar source for ruby-throated hummingbirds and invite their visits to your garden.
• Native garden appeal: This eastern North American native fits naturally into suitable native-style flower plantings.
• Biennial growth: Plan for a two-season growing cycle rather than treating this flower as a perennial wildflower mix.

Planting Tips for Success

• Planting season: Fall seeding is recommended. Adjust timing to your local climate and the directions on your seed packet.
• Sunlight: Choose a location with full to partial sun.
• Soil and drainage: Provide well-drained soil and avoid persistently soggy planting sites.
• Sowing: Prepare a weed-free seedbed and follow packet instructions for sowing depth and spacing.
• Water: Keep the seedbed gently moist during germination. Established plants grow with dry to moderate moisture; adjust watering to rainfall and soil conditions.
• Biennial patience: Allow time for establishment before expecting the flowering stage of the plant's two-season cycle.
• Care and support: Keep weeds down while plants establish, assess soil fertility before fertilizing, and provide discreet support if stems lean in an exposed site.
