    The Wishbone Flower is a summer annual growing to 12 inches high and wide. In Northern climates it does best in full sun, but in warm climates it requires partial to full shade. It loves warmth and humidity. The plants produce velvety flowers throughout the summer months in shades of pink, lavender, purple, blue, and white. I love growing this in shady beds here in Florida as well as in hanging baskets.
