    Lovely plant to grow. Starts easily from seed and grows well in pots even in part shade.
    The color of the flower doesn't stand out, but I will definitely grow it again. I think it would look great growing with Summer Jewel White.

    I got seeds from Alana in Jan. 2017. They grew beautifully all summer into fall. I let them reseed naturally and they returned this spring and started blooming on June 1st. They grow at the base of a birdbath, mixed with the 'Summer Jewel' Red, White, and Pink I got as a seed mix in a seed swap here last November.
