Rating for this plant:
Best use is for the back of the flower border or as a temporary hedge.Flowering is from mid-summer to late autumn The seed germinate in one to two weeks at 70 to 75 degrees.The seed can be planted directly in the soil but do not cover the seed press it into the soil.Pinch young plants to keep them short and space them 12 to 14 inches apart.
