    These were very easy to grow from seed, starting in a greenhouse in late March and started blooming in June. They are gorgeous but mine have grown to about 3 feet in zone 7a. Didn't expect that height! Great addition to the garden and flowers last a long time.

    Blue Victory is my favorite cluster planting in my borders this year. Gorgeous spires of purple flowers on a plant that adds wonderful height and texture along the borders. I often enjoy my morning coffee near this planting and am mesmerized by the rich diversity of pollinators that show up.

    I bought these seeds a year or two ago and at the end of last season, I threw some in little 4-packs that I had laying around, wanting some blooms for the fall. I left them in those containers for MONTHS atop my garden bed (they rooted through the bottom into the soil, so that's probably how they survived despite my neglect) and forgot about them. They never bloomed, but to my surprise, the foliage stayed green all winter! Again, I cannot stress how little I cared for them and how they weren't even properly planted! In February or March I decided to actually plant them, and now they're 1.5 feet tall and buds are forming and quickly developing. Long story short, these are amazingly hardy plants (in zone 7b-8a) and I 100% recommend them for lazy gardeners like myself :)
