Zone 4a Gardener in Vermont

I planted these seeds in February and they're already enormous! They've been potted up twice and look healthy and vigorous. I can't wait to plant them in my flower gardens. All the seeds I've purchased from Seed Savers have had great germination and produced healthy seedlings. I'll be ordering more varieties as soon as I can!
Awesome
by Joe
Took two years to bloom but well worth it. Needs a lot of water but otherwise easy to take care of.
A favorite

I live in zone 6 and started these indoors late winter 2021, planted in pots on my porch where they filled out leaves all summer, and put them in flower beds in the fall. This spring (2022) they have bloomed, white and pink, 3-4 feet tall and just beautiful and vigorous. They are a favorite!
