Description
For a knock out love letter, use your Chocolate Lace Flowers to make your own ink! Here's how: Collect and dry petals from about 5 flowers. Toss into a mortal and pestle, and grind to a powder. Add a tiny bit of boiling water, just enough to cover the powder and mix. Leave in a sunny spot in your house for 24 hours. Strain with a coffee filter or cheesecloth, and voila. Get a fine brush and write/paint away.

How to Plant
Stick in the dirt 1/4" deep, 2" apart. Water gently & regularly as seedlings emerge over the next 2 weeks. Once babies are 2” tall, pluck so there's just one per 12".

Find a place that gets mostly sun.
When to Plant
Early spring, or late fall if winters are mild. Sow directly into garden.
When to Expect Blooms
Blooms all summer long.
Care Instructions
Water regularly until they get established, and then give them extra water during dry spells. Pick the flowers regularly to encourage more blooms.
Extra Credit
Lace Flower is in the same family as Queen Anne's Lace and will readily self seed in poor soil if left to go to seed.
