This assortment of luscious colorful blooms flutter in the breeze against vigorous heart-shaped foliage from midsummer to the first fall frost. The flowers open in early morning, and may stay open all day on cloudy days or when temperatures cool down in fall. Reseeds freely.
Caution: Most parts of this plant are poisonous.
~ planting ~
When to sow outside: 1 to 2 weeks after average last frost. Plants started too early outside will end up less vigorous than plants started when temperatures are warmer.
When to start inside: 4 to 6 weeks before planting outside. Sow into a pulp pot and transplant directly outside to avoid disturbing roots. Special germination instructions: Soak seed in water for 12-24 hours or nick with sandpaper before sowing.
