gorgeous flowers, but my plant, purchased at Trader Joe's in Santa Monica, CA, seems to have tomato wilt desease--apparently very common with this plant.

Super easy to grow. I sowed the seeds in the fall and they were coming up everywhere I sowed them the following spring! Very beautiful; I'm surprised I haven't seen more gardens with them. I let them go to seed the end of the first year, so this past spring they came up on their own and required thinning. (Zone 8A / Western Washington)
We stumbled upon this beautiful flower by accident. It is like an azalea. I have also heard it called the Satin flower, and it really is BEAUTIFUL. It tolerates poor soil, and full sun, and is just a lovely addition to any flower bed. We found it easy to grow from seed, but very hard to find in the greenhouses. Does not like to be overwatered. We are in zone 3 and it grew quite well but it is not very frost tolerant.
