Grow this every year and bring it inside before the first frost. It will survive another winter though not as pretty as the first. I love having the flowers in the winter. Relieves that winter groggy feeling!

I grew this cultivar from you last year and it did very well. I started the seeds I recently purchased under grow lights and they have germinated and are waiting for me to transfer them to individual cells. They will move to a cold frame with heating coil and eventually to cold frame with no heat. I will then plant them in my yard sometime in early May.

These were also attacked by the squirrel. They never lasted. I ordered them again and they did not grow. This time I used repellent on the outside of the container and the ground around it. The squirrel did not come back, these just did not grow. I was disappointed because I thought they looked like they would be very pretty. Also it has been a very, very hot and dry summer. I water early in the am and had to water again after the sun goes down because my soil moisture tester shows many of my plants as very dry.
