I tried these last year for the first time. They didn't do much and looked kind of dumb.

I have a few volunteers popping up in the garden now, at least I think that's what they are. Are they hardy annuals, half-hardy, or tender ones? We have a little frost right now, supposed to be a freeze tonight. Makes me wonder whether the volunteers will survive the cold.

Another question- when should they be pinched to encourage branching? I want them nice and full like seedsower's.

I've never done anything to mine for them to get so full, they are in a very neglected area. They are annuals here but they drop a lot of seeds so they keep coming back the following year. They seem to thrive in hot areas of the garden, mine are along the concrete driveway.

Thanks for the replies.
