    I got this in 2013 because of the color the flowers. After it started blooming, I loved it so much, that I got another one in 2013. The color of the flowers is beautiful. Great grower and great in container and/or mixed containers.

    It's not hardy for me, but makes a wonderful annual. Attracts hummers and butterflies. Long blooming.
