This plants comes well from seeds, growing to a good size quickly. It also reseeds readily. The biggest problem I had with this plant was the constant aphids infestations, deforming the leaves. So if you do not like to use sprays, it may be a good one to avoid.

I started the plants indoors in April, transplanted in May. Blooms began showing in July and was in full beauty in August. The ropes of flowers eventually touched the ground in September.
