It was a nice surprise to find these blooming, two-and-a-half years after starting them from seed, in an out-of-the-way corner of the yard. I'll have to relocate them to a more prominent location, to show off their late-season flowers. I expect they will continue to get more robust and floriferous in the next few years.

In our garden, this plant grows in the following areas: side garden, the lane, rock garden, patio area, orchard nursery area, sale plot

Seed for this plant is included on my seed trade list
