I didn't get mine planted this year. How did you plant yours-ground, hanging basket, container? It is a pretty flower.

I planted it in the ground in a raised bed. It would make a beautiful hanging basket think I will do that next year.

Evert I experimented this year last year I didn't get any to germinate. This year I had 3 seeds and 2 germinated. I scarified the seeds then planted 2 in seed starter mix with some sand in it and the other in just seed starter the ones in the sand germinated. I think too sense it's been so hot and dry here this year has helped it to bloom too.

Oh my, I missed that one when I was at your house. If I'd seen it, it would have come to Tennessee. It's beauty-ful.

Lol Cala it wasn't blooming when you where here. You did ask me what the plant was though. Maybe it's a good thing it wasn't blooming or it would be in TN for sure. lol
