Here are the plants I got at WSU on Mom's weekend. Not bad for a few bucks!

Very nice, and I love the colors!

I bought another Oranges and Lemons about two weeks ago. It was $3.00 at Home Depot, and I just couldn't stop myself. I tried. I really did. I took it out of my cart 4 times, but it kept jumping back in. It's kind of late to be planting something that is going to act like an annual, but I'll enjoy it until it freezes. It's so pretty! Maybe I'll dig it up and put it in the cold frame and see what happens. I have nothing to lose at this point. I wish I didn't love that one so much, and I also wish I had found it in the spring! It's blooming like crazy, so I don't feel like I wasted any money one it.

They are beautiful.

Natalie, see if you can save seeds. They might not come true but they would be pretty anyway. It will be interesting to see if these make it in zone 7 sometimes 8.

Someone told me that the seeds are sterile. I know I gathered some seed from the last ones I grew, and did get babies to grow, but they look exactly like another one I have, which is burgundy. I was positive that I hadn't mixed the seed up, but now i'm thinking that I probably did.

I get so excited about seed collecting that lose my mind! I'm going to try again though!

I don't know if they are sterile. Maybe someone else will say.

Did a quick google search. It does seem to be sterile according to several sources.

Arizona Apricot might be a good seed variety alternative. It looks good too.

I'm not sure but they would be cheap to grow. I like them a lot!

SRG is having a good sale (up to 80%off) and they have Arizona sun for 2.49, hardy to zone 3 but the Arizona Apricot is 9.99 they are only taking orders for next year.

I just ordered some Coreopsis, painted ferns, Foxglove, and Purple sensation. I was going to order PowWow Berry but I found some seeds on one plant I forgot about.

I've planted it several times, and it always dies over winter! I was beyond excited when I found it alive yesterday!!!
