Hi zone10 -

ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL COLOR
I would love to have some of your seeds and in return can send you seeds of mine as well as a Lavender Form [Or other MG Seeds]. My Pink Form is a bit more lighter than yours and it just blooms like crazy. I've been growing this one for several years and have only lost two plants.

You mentioned over-wintering yours?
Do you dig it up every year?
If you do, you don't need to as it is very hardy for your zone, as would the White Form be as well. Only the Pink Form is hardy in my climate. It does die back every year and returns ready to go again each spring.

Also, have you tried to cut your plant back? I would think it would bush out more if you would cut it in half. You can then root cuttings to have a 'group' growing together.

Here is a photo of one of my sets of 3 and as you can see they do bush out nicely. I am guessing they are about 9' tall, but will keep growing until our first frost hits. Then, I cut them back to about 3' and mulch them for the winter. The cuttings root very easily in water.
