Seed ripensextended period, starting early July

Hot-contrast bicolor flowers held on upright stalks that sway in the breeze. Early to bloom from seed - I had hopes of this becoming one of our stand-by annuals, but I neglected to collect seed one year, and it didn't reseed; I'll have to re-establish it one of these days.

This plant used to grow in our garden, but it slipped away...
