Summarized by Shop
Short and sweet describes this little plant perfectly. Iridescent silver-white flowers float over the foliage, blooming the first season, growing to 16 inches. A good way to get a mass of flowers in the first year would be to plant 5-7 seedlings spread evenly out, in a foot diameter circle, creating a full-grown, established look.

Came right up
Started these indoors in March 2024, and put them in the ground in May. It's too early for flowers yet, but I'm pleased with the high yield rate and the happy plants I have.
