Very easy to grow annual in full sun (at least 6 hours). Seeds are easy to collect once the seed pods are dry & store well over the winter until the next spring.

The first flower of the season. Shaped different from all the rest.

After the rains started, the flowers became larger and better formed.

The flowers vary from 2 inches to 1 inch. This is the smallest flower to date.

Early June. This color mix was sown in late April, they seem most encouraged by hot days.
