Exquisite color! It's my one and only "zone envy" plant.

Grow it as a summer annual!

We have done it in the past. It's a tad too warm and maybe too humid for it here.

That is one great picture. We have grown it here but it never overwinters. Nurseries sometimes bring it in fairly large pots. Very difficult to get going as an annual as well. But I sure love it just the same.

I have killed here quite easily though I understand others have had good luck with it.
