Plant Details

Type: Heirloom Grandiflora
Lifecycle: Hardy annual
Height: 5–6 ft
Sun: Full sun; afternoon shade in hot climates

Growing Notes

In mild climates, sow seeds in pots in fall, overwinter in a protected location, and transplant outdoors in early spring.

Flowers may fade in intense sun, so afternoon shade can help preserve their color in warmer climates.
