It sure is gorgeous!

It's so easy from seeds....:-))

that is just so beautiful

I'm glad you like this plant - do go and get some seeds - they're large and you can plant them where you want them to grow!

well I.m going to get some seed thats for sure, thanks Spritz

Wow its a beautyis'nt it.

Well, I liike it, Carol! Glad you do too. :-))

I've grown this in the past Barbara and noticed that the field mice go absolutely mad for the seeds! It's gorgeous and I can't believe you have this flowering in April!! amazing!

Really? Well - there would be plenty to go round - some for me, and lots for them. Shall I save you some seeds later on?

No thanks B. I love them, but I don't have room for many annuals.....wish I had your space!

LOL. Mine drive OH crazy - they're growing in the gravel path! Well - I didn't plant them there, did I?

I love these too and am looking forward to my seedlings taking off soon. I lost last years in the frost:(

Are you OK for seeds? I'll collect them, I think, and offer them to members. :-)))

Hope OH is looking after ours, as we lost it 2 winters ago.......had been growing it for over 20 years too (obviously not the same one, lol)

At least it's cheap and easy to replace, Dd...:-)))

True.......I remember when this was one of the most fashionable plants to have in ones garden lol

Really? Before my time, Dd. ;-O

Thanks for the offer of seeds, Spritz. I actually bought some again this year.

I guess the mice got the seeds.....

This year I have planted some in a tall pot (ala Carol from Gardener's World! :)

Have we got to call you 'Carol' now, then? lol.

We occasionally see little mice in the garden, but obviously not enough of them to eat all the seeds, because plants appear in the strangest of places! :-)
