I remember my Grandmother having these in her garden.
Then one day I saw it at nursery. I've been growing it ever since. It does have to have very warm soil to germinate, from reseeding. The seed is very fine like dust, remember to pull back the mulch.I also like the new trailing varieties in hanging baskets. They will bloom all summer with very little feritlizer.

I like this opinion
