Hybrids between maltese cross (L. chalcedonica) and other variety. My seed-grown plants may turn out different from the true cultivar. Pinching the plants in spring may induce branching and give bushier plants. In their first year, most of the seedlings sported a single flower. The following year, there were more flowers, but the plants remained fairly small, lower than the 24" height stated above.

We left this plant behind in our Pennsylvania garden (and wish it well); we don't grow it in Houston. About my plant portraits
