The large flower clusters, interesting seed pods, and striking palm-like leaves on tall plants add drama to any garden. Great for attracting butterflies and hummingbirds. A wonderful, fragrant, cut flower in shades of white, pink, rose, and violet. Plants require little care and remain attractive even in heat, tolerate some drought, and often reseed to come back year after year.

Dramatic and Sturdy

Jul 20, 2018

I'd never seen these before, but picked up a pack of the seeds at the supermarket. I'm amazed by what is blooming in my yard at this time. The blooms are enormous and showy. They even smell good (subtle). A sturdy plant.

Grew these in containers on a sunny balcony. Very enjoyable! Eye catching and long lasting blooms. Would grow again. We're relatively drought resistant too.
