This flower is a fast grower and so unique. I stated them inside with ease. Planted them in pots and some in herb garden. Strong stalks, no staking. But here is where they get interesting. One flower, gives multiple stalks with multiple colors!!! One stalk is purple and another stalk is almost a coral or pink color! I have never seen two different colors of flowers from one plant! All of them are doing it. Everyone who sees them notices them right away. I just love these!
