I have had this plant several years in a row and never had one with this faded bluish color. Mine have been purple with white edging before. Maybe it's in need of some Phos? Oh well, I still like it. This has been one of my treasured aquistions each season. I think this plant is under-rated at best.

I have never seen this before, where do you get your seed? Does it self sow or do you start it new each spring? Is it difficult or easy?
I bought a "Durant Repens - Sweet Memories" at the Dallas Arboretum plant sale this past weekend. I have been unable to find much info on it!! I want to know whether I can plant it in the ground or in a container to keep it over winter...
It's a tough as nails plant for me but sometimes freezes back to ground level--get HUGE down here--probably just some chill damage. Trim of the affected parts and when it starts getting hot it will take off like a train with no brakes!

It's not an annual, its definitely a perennial for me.
