I love the looks of this plant and wondered if there are any others out there with experience. The only reference I've been able to find is from "DaddyNature" of Atlanta who wrote...

“First of all -- this is a fantastic and gorgeous plant! In Georgia, it grows all year round and flowers too! How many plants do that, huh?! Second, it is VERY invasive from seed. Third, it is interesting for the kiddies...it is sensitive to touch and will fold its leaves downward when touched by rain and other -- as it does in the evening. The beauty is the fact that, although it's invasive, it's worth the trouble for its hearty growth and cheerful visage.”

I'm not concerned about invasive...for now. I'm more on the impatient side wanting this place to thrive next spring and summer. Remember...I'm a newbie to all this.

Biggest question is the earliest I can plant the bulbs? I'd like to see flowers in mid May and I see by this article (below link) it takes 8-10 weeks from sowing time. Actually I've also seen reference to seeds but maybe I have it confused.

Also..I want to cover the bank in the photo. Will they multiply during the first year?
