Beth,

I have the Astra Blue and Astra White. Yours is so beautiful. Was that an accident or what? I love the splash of purple. Was this only one (plant) or did you buy some like that?

Thanks,
Judy

These are a stable strain of variegated blooms. They come true from seed.

Wow, they sure are pretty. Do you remember where you purchased (seeds or plants) from?

Thanks so much!

Happy gardening,
Judy

I got the original seeds from ebay, and have a few to trade if you like.
