Funny how plants go in and out of fashion I would say this was an old fashioned annual as you don’t often see it now. That’s a shame because they are beautiful @cheyenne1barnett @sabbanrula

My grandfather apparently used to gross these too. So, they could have been out of fashion for a long time. In spring, I just came across a packet of seeds I'd had for a few years. Most germinated & grew really quickly to flowering size. Really easy to grow too. I'll be collecting seed from them soon all being well 🤞 @cheyenne1barnett @sabbanrula & @joanboston
