It brings bold vertical color and texture to beds, borders, and meadow-style plantings, and its striking flowers are followed by inflated seed pods that rattle when dry.\u003cbr\u003e\nGrown as an ornamental in sunny gardens, Showy Rattlebox works well toward the back of a border or as a warm-season accent among other annuals and perennials. It grows quickly in warm weather and prefers consistent moisture while establishing; allow pods to mature on the plant if you wish to collect seed for the next season.
