Comments:
Used as a cool season annual in deep South. Spring and summer annual further North. Select a site with well drained soil, preferably a raised bed in full sunlight. Cannot tolerate hard freezes, but does well through mild winter in the South. Early flowers are quite large while later in the season the size of the blooms are considerably smaller. Fertilize cool season annuals during the winter months.
