Add Your Opinion About This Plant Jewell (5504) wrote on Jun 29 2009 Self-sows freely with spring rains and well-drained soils. Likes disturbed soil. Plants can get large in a garden area spreading up to 24 inches. I like this opinion Note: please don't use this box to post questions, you can do that on our forums instead.
