Comments:
This annual is native to California and Oregon. It is an ideal annual for the summer garden because it blooms over an extended period from spring into autumn. Produces a fine-textured foliage. Provide a moist, well-drained soil and full sunlight. It is an excellent annual for the rock garden. Attracts bees. Under ideal growing conditions, plants reseed quite freely.
