    Flowers open daily in the mornings and are done by mid-day. Plant has a nice, sprawling habit and works well with groundcovers.

    Self-sows, but not aggressively. Cuttings will root if taken in late summer and kept in the shade. The plant can be shaped by pinching to make it bushier and less sprawling.
