This is a heritage plant, I really like the color and foliage. It needs staking or a tomato cage to hold it upright when in flower. Spreads easy by runners.

I like this opinion

Rating for this plant:
Small, rather pale flower. Foliage grows old as it blooms and the stalks seem to harden and die at the same time. Spreads easily, but is not very appealing. Frankly, I'm trying to get rid of it in favor something a bit more showy or attractive to birds.

I like this opinion
