Nice!

So easy to grow via indoor transplant and direct sow. Love the shape and color variety. The bees enjoyed it too!
Slow Start, Great Finish
by Paul
I planted these on June 1 in Northern Virginia. They were slow to germinate, and slow to grow through most of July, and then suddenly in August they grew like crazy. Now in late September they are absolutely beautiful. They are 4 to 5 feet tall and some have needed staking because of our windy conditions. I wonder if I got the right variety of seed as my flowers look like regular blooms, not tubular.
