I like the colorful, tubular flowers. They have a spicy fragrance. In zone 5, they can sometimes overwinter if its a mild winter.

I like this opinion

Rating for this plant:
This can be a difficult plant to start from seed for a beginner. The seeds are tiny. I dropped all of the seeds in the same place the first time I planted them. I had about 100 stems growing within a square inch of space. It was not fun to untangle the spaghetti like stems but I was able to salvage most of them. It is amazing how little they start off and how big they can get over the course of just three and a half months.

I like this opinion
