Not only are these easy to grow but the pollinators love them. I grow them in Jamaica - Zone 13 and they do well in partial shade as the heat can get crazy. I plant them all year round except for September- November which is our wet season.

Purchased for next season. I want a shorter variety so these will do nicely.
