Easy to grow from seeds, sow directly outdoors (at least it works best here in Finland..!). One of the first flowers to bloom, but the plants are leggy and don't tolerate heat or hard rain well. Doesn't bloom very long.
Flowers are pretty and quite showy anyways.

May not last the heat but so well worth the short time it blooms here!

One of my favorite since I first saw it on the web. En masse even better. It dies back for me, but returns on schedule. Very unusual, bright, cheerful - I absolutely love the purple of the spots!

Evan though this is an "annual" I have found it will self-sow once established, even in zone 5. Very pretty; attractive foliage & flowers; fairly low growing in a very tidy manner.

Fast-growing, mounded, low spreading plant which is useful as a groundcover. Serrated foliage is decorated with 5-petaled blue flowers with white centers. Though the blossoms are small, their rich colors make them appear almost luminous. Requires fertile, humus-enriched, well-drained soil and you should water regularly if the weather is dry. Propagate by seed in spring where it is to grow, or in autumn if in a mild region for blooming the following winter-spring
