Comments:
An excellent selection where temperature and humidity are both high. Orange flowers are produced in about 15 weeks from seed planting. Butterflies are attracted to them and deer do not find them too tasty. They are good cut flowers and a few plants will produce a bountiful supply for months. An easy to grow plant thaat could possibly brighted up your home and garden all summer and into the fall. Established plants have a degree of drought tolerance.
