Tender Annual. Also known as Bluewings. Good for containers, window boxes, hanging baskets. Erect, bushy annual with toothed leaves and tiny blue-purple blossoms with yellow or white throats that resemble trumpets; blooms from summer to the first frost. Needs rich, very moist, well-drained soil and is ideal for a cool greenhouse; plant in shade in hot regions. Pinch shoots of young plants to encourage bushiness. In frost-free areas, plant year-round. 'Clown Mix' is an award-winning variety with large flowers and a good compact form.
