Comments:
Grown as annual bedding plant. Grows in full sun, but can't stand drought. Various colored foliage and flowers offer contrast in the annual garden. A popular choice for mass plantings in public places. Cannot tolerate wet soils, consequently best performance is in elevated beds to insure adequate drainage.
