Other info: Easy to grow. Although this is listed in the annuals section on the main seed page, I really think it is a short-lived perennial or only hardy to zone 6. I originally grew this variety several years ago when seed was offered by Park Seed. My plants grew and bloomed very sparsely the first year, but then wintered over in zone 5 and bloomed much better the second year although they were soon smothered out by other larger perennials and I lost the plants. I really liked the flowers and decided to plant again. I started my plants in summer this year (2003) so I got no bloom. I'll see if they winter over as they are now in a much more exposed location than they were when I first grew them.
