    I grew this beauty last year on our patio, along with a Salvia plant. I had them in a 20-inch container close to the house.

    The flowers are stunning and they are a gorgeous color.

    I was in awe looking at all the wonderful flowers last summer. I'm hoping it survived our winter, even though it isn't hardy for me.

    I loved it! Great punch of color!
