The delicate blooms have white edges and pretty purple/yellow centers just like the picture on their seed package depicted. Interesting how it differs from the other picture here on DG. I love both colors. Seems to handle the Arizona heat well, but I have it in pots that only get morning sun.

These compact plants put out lots of small soft lavender flowers with darker centers. They are excellent in containers and borders, and they self-seed, often true to the original plant if isolated from other cultivars.
