I suppose my coral Porter weed was setting up to surprise me. Today I had 15 flowers bloom on each of its three flower stalks. And the hummingbird came by for a meal.
I am excited I received my seeds for a white flowered Porter weed today. My rosy post from hirts may have died from too much rain this week. The one branch on it had curled leaves and it broke off from the roots. The red kudos is still alive, but has not grown any at all.
Marilyn said:I didn't know there were any white flowered Porter weed plants. Where did you get your seeds from?
Sorry to hear about your other plants.
There is a buy it now on eBay for it. It has pics that look legit and the seller has good feedback and is from Florida. Just search Porter weed in eBay and it should come up.
Always looking for interesting plants for pollinators and food! Bonus points for highly, and pleasantly scented plants.
