This is a gorgeous plant, with lovely flowers. They are so delicate. I see this shrub here grows like a tree. I didnt know what it was till now.
pebble, I could just sit and admire these beautys being posted on a daily basis. Every plant I see on this new forum I want to grow.
I know what you mean, me too.......
I have been wanting to try this for a while, I heard they are easy from seed. Oh look, ha, I am on the wanted list! Thanks for adding that Dave.
Whoa! Well, blow me down. That is such a beautiful plant. It's no wonder I love gardening.
If I can grow it w/o killing it, it will grow for anyone. Mine seem to be the sprawling type, not upright at all and all that I see are sprawling. Is this the way they ALL are?

Beautiful Photo .... Beautiful Plant! I have loved it since first seeing someone's post and photo here on DG.
I got some seeds for postage from a very generous DG'er .... they are sprouting now. I sure hope I can grow them out to be nice plants!
