Another great annual. Lesson learned, though: I planted them in part sun and fertilized the soil there. Bad idea. They like full hard sun and poor soil. I got less blooms than I'd hoped for. Another cool thing about them: Lady Bird Johnson had these planted all over medians. They're perennial in warmer zones. She was a huge fan of wildflowers. You can read more about her very cool legacy here.
