Synda,

Your plant is Lotus maculatus.

It is easy to grow from cuttings. It prefers cool weather, but, will tolerate heat if the air is dry and it gets shade during the hottest part of the day. It is widely grown in California, especially near the coast with their moderate summer temps.

I have grown it here as a winter annual. Most bedding plant growers, down here, won't grow it because it is difficult to keep going during the hot, humid summer months. Up north, where you are, it requires a heated greenhouse - that makes it expensive for them.
