Prospers in well-drained soil types. Mature plants can be divided in late spring or early fall. It can be an aggressive self-seeder. Drought tolerant. Has deep tap roots so transplants poorly.
 
Collect seed in fall when the seed heads have turned brown. Tap the seed out, air-dry, and cold-moist stratify with the chaff in sand, in sealed, refrigerated containers for two months, or direct sow seeds in spring.
