To grow Kellog's yampah you will need to provide a sunny location with well-drained soil, although the plants are capable of adapting to any soil conditions.

Alternatively the seeds can be sown outdoors as long as the weather stays in the low 40s F, allowing them to go through a natural cold stratification.
