Nice big seeds, easy to grow. Some flowered first year; put most in a dry gravelly bit in full sun in our small garden and they grew to about 5'...taking over the whole bed but looked great!
Rating: 5

Thank you for your review.

Excellent germination. Lost a proportion to snails when planted seedlings out but those that survived came back with very hairy leaves and have done well, self seeding this summer. Beautiful leaves and flowers and still flowering now at the beginning of December.
