| Posted by SongofJoy (Clarksville, TN - Zone 6b) on Nov 4, 2013 8:52 AM Seeds remain viable for at least three years and germinate at irregular intervals. The flowers are not fragrant but are visited by at least 46 species, including bees, wasps, flies and butterflies. The ultraviolet reflecting patterns of the flowers draw the insects to them. Areas that are not reflective appear dark and indicate either the location of the nectar or act as guides that point to the sugar source. [ Reply to this comment | |
