Hardy Annual. This makes a great cottage garden selection. Grows to a height of 3 feet and bears large, soft pink flowers in the summer. Fast growing plants with lance-shaped leaves will need support with stakes. Seeds are poisonous. Deadhead (remove faded flowers) to prolong flowering and encourage new flower buds. This annual reseeds easily. 'Milas' is the variety pictured.
