Stacey, I ordered these this year. Was supposed to have two lavendars and two whites and ended up with all whites. Where do you get yours or do you just keep them going from year to year? I could never find seed on them either. I like this plant, even tho all I had was white.

I got mine at Home Depot but they have not done well for me. After the first bloom they got sickly. They are basically just sticks now. Can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. Weeds live in the panhandle and says hers acted just the same way. Made me feel better anyway LOL. It's a shame, I really love this plant and they grow beautifully here in the Botanical Gardens.

Mine grew too well. They got to tall for where I had them. Weren't as bushy as I would have liked, but that was my fault for not pinching them back. I didn't fertilize, just watered when I thought they needed it. I did start some by cuttings, just in soil. Will check HD next spring and see if I can find them. Thanks.
