Holy cannoli, these are beautiful! Got a pack from my local Armatrong Nursery. I planted a few of these as companions for my vegetable garden and boy they did not disappoint! They were the perfect size for my garden and deterred pests. They bloomed beautifully after a few days of rain.

They look and smell great. Easy to grow. & they make beautiful mini bouquets in small jars. You can also harvest the seeds from the dead flowers. I’m excited to see what grows from all the seeds I’ve harvested!

Easy to grow and I was surprised how tall these grew. Bees and butterflies flocked to these plants and they added a bright colorful spot to my vegetable garden.
