I am a wonderful vigorous long lived dwarf perennial with long lasting colourful flowers that appear continuously and prolifically from spring until late summer.
My different varieties come in almost every colour imaginable and are trumpet shaped with dark speckles down the throat.
Careful breeding has resulted in my more compact form and extended flowering.
Hardy, I make a great pot or container plant and am a great way to brighten balconies, patios and paved areas.
A light tidy up prune at the end of summer is all that is required to keep me looking at my best.
Caution: Skin irritant
