This is a lovely annual with huge, non-stop flowers on a 2-3', very easy-care plant. When visitors came across it during tours of my Test Garden they all raved about it and begged for seed.
The flowers have a glow to them, are 2-3" across, and come in several colors. Easy to grow from seed, nearly impossible to find at nurseries. We will be growing a few for our customers this year. A must have for every gardener who loves florific plants!
