Twisty wands of rosy pink flowers, suitable for cutting. I made the mistake of planting this in our nursery area (forgetting that it is an annual), where it gets lost between all the more assertive young plants. But even in a garden border, I'm not sure where I'd use a plant with such a spindly habit. Perhaps I need to treat it better to see more impressive results.
