Beautiful Plant, I just bought it. It had no tag so I didn't know what it was. I found it here.
Thank You, Now how do I take care of it? and can it be grown indoors.

Hmmm - I'm thinking you would just plant it outside and let it rip ... it does like sun.

Inside: I don't see why not.

It sure is easy to harvest those seeds and grow it again each year. Around here (zone 6b), it reseeds after the winter, sometimes.

Have fun!
