Half-hardy Annual. In northern areas, you will want to start seeds indoors, and you may sow directly outdoors in milder climates. Foliage color will be more vivid in poorer soils. An attractive and dramatic plant for garden color, but use sparingly, as your color scheme could become a bit garish if used in excess. The flowers of this annual are insignificant compared to its value as a foliage plant.
