Tumbling waves of foliage, superior blooms that fill out quickly, trailing to 2’, are attractive as a ground cover or in containers, lasting all season long. Incredible performance in the ground; ours have been amply blooming since late May. Start seeds in late winter for spring and summer blooms, then sow some 3 ½ months before the end of summer for fresh flowers through the autumn into winter.
