Thanks .. they are big flowers .. usually blue .. I think I did put a pic. of a blue one on some time ago , this one is covered in these huge cream flowers , I must find the packet to see what colour it shows on it .. i,m sure it was blue ......
They are annuals so you have to grow them from seed each year , i'm not sure if you can save your own seed , I will keep an eye on them .... I bought some from Wilkingsons for half price a few weeks ago when they had a summer sale on ...!

If I remember correctly, when I grew one the flowers started creamy/greenish and turned mauve afterwards.....I think.....Lol

Thats odd Milky , my other ones were blue from the start .. I'll let you know if they decide to change colour later .. :)
