This plant looks good and blooms wonderfully. However, the stalks are extremely sensitive and break at the slightest touch. I've watched them break when a hummingbird flew from bloom to bloom.

Ava grew over 4 feet tall and bloomed non-stop from mid-summer to first frost. The two shades of purple in the bloom are absolutely gorgeous and it was a hummingbird favorite. It appears that the wet winter in Denver has had a negative affect on 2 of 3 plants this spring however, as their growth rate is 1/3 of the best plant.
