OK!
Thanks--to whomever is giving up the 5 seeds.....Cat or coleup...

Cat--You HAVE TO grow this plant I will give you seeds for.
It is called "South African Foxglove"--"Digitalis Triloba" .
It is an annual--from seed to 6'!!!
It takes up a bit of space--but I gather you have room...
It grows tall and a bit straggly--but the blooms will blow you away--
and, they are magnets for bees.

I grew it in 2010 and took a lot of seeds....Sally even wrote an Article about it.
I will just toss some in your baggie.
The seeds are hard--so the wet-paper-towel-in-a-baggie might help.

Here's the link to Sally's Article http://davesgarden.com/guides/articles/view/2928/
