| Neutral | Evert | On Oct 22, 2005, Evert from Espoo Finland (Zone 4b) wrote: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.

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 |
