Professional Growing Information A wonderful and unusual looking annual here that not only exceeded expectations, but is a head turner in our front yard as no one has seen it here ! No pest problems and easy to grow. Applied a slow release general purpose fertilizer and watered when needed. I'll get them again next year!
