I love it, love it, love it. I have a slightly different climate than Washington State, though. In the San Francisco Bay Area, this is perennial. I got mine at Annie's Annuals a few months ago and it has bloomed nearly nonstop, and is three times as big as it was when I got it, even though I am a container gardener solely. Mine is in a (large) glazed ceramic container along with campanula punctata and penstemon heterophyllus. Mouth watering color, I tell you. I keep on top of the deadheading, and have had no self seeding whatsoever.

Negative KCnoxiousweeds On Jun 28, 2004, KCnoxiousweeds from Seattle, WA wrote:

This Plant is a listed noxious weed and is illegal to sell or to grow in Washington State. In King County, western WA there are over 100 known sites were it has invaded streams and wetlands and out competes native vegetation. It also lures pollinators away from smaller less showy native flowers, resulting in a smaller seed set of native plants.

Regional...

This plant has been said to grow in the following regions:

Albany, California
Calistoga, California
Clayton, California
Fairfield, California
San Jose, California
Santa Clara, California
Averill Park, New York
Salem, Oregon
