Hardy Annual. An easy to grow ornamental annual that has its brightest color when the nights are cool. Plants are usually bi-colored, with the centers being either pink or white and the outer leaves either green or purple. These are a great choice for fall color as they like cool temperatures and are frost hardy. After sowing seeds, place them in the refrigerator for three days and then in a setting where the temperature is at 65 to 70 degrees F. They need light for germination, so do not cover them.
