Half-hardy Annual. Compact spreading habit and profuse, cup-shaped violet to violet-blue flowers smothers the plant in summer and early autumn. One of the prettiest and most reliable blue summer flowers. Plant in moist, rich, well-drained soil. Keep flowers clipped for continuous bloom. Easy to grow. Shade lightly in hot regions. Cut back drastically to encourage compact, mounded growth for next season. 'Purple Robe' is pictured.
