    I bought as a bedding plant for my son's memorial garden. Unfortunately inbetwween store and home lost the tag. I don't even know if its a perrenial or annual or ???
    Sure is pretty and unusual though and flowered all summer long!! right till Sepetember!
    I kept the seeds from the flower and left roots in the soil (just in case was a perennial)
    but I want to plant again! please if someone could identify for me and also tips for care and growing would b e ever so much appreciated.


    First day of spring has me wanting to plan my flower garden..
    thank you Cindy

    Im a brand new member of the forum and geez I just can't thank you enough. and so darn quick too!! very awesome. just curious.. being as I live in an area where winters are very cold if the plant did not "over-winter" and I have seeds... now what?
    I think I read something about would not grow true?? have I kept these seeds for naught?

    Again, I kindly thank you for the absolute speediest response I've ever gotten from any forum anywhere.

    Happy Gardening
    Cindy

    no. no gardening yet for me. we got large dumping of snow today! but yesterday was first day of spring and I thought that if I had to germinate seeds and ready for planting outdoors in June better start now. I can't believe how quickly I got a reply to my query. Everyone who came to our house I would ask if they Knew and no one knew what it was. Now I just have to get info on how to reprofuce it lol! take care Cindy

    They may or may not come true but you've got little to lose
    trying so (if you have the time) I'd say go for it.

    BTW I started my seeds in Dec./Jan. and planted out Mar. 1 :-0

    Regards

    Yes, it is definitely time to propagate/germinate seeds for the garden. I am way behind myself!
