Positive	Lily_love	On Feb 15, 2007, Lily_love from Central, AL (Zone 7b) wrote: The classification of these plant is not clear, some called it Perrenial, other 'half hardy annual' Whichever is the case, it does share some characteristic of its cousin the 'Angel Thrumphet" Big thrumphet-like flower, like that of Moon-flowers, also its flowers open on cloudy day, evening, (like Moon-flowers) though it seems to flourish on sunny locations. The double flowers (variety; purple) also self-sown), now that I'm hooked on the plants. I also noticed there are yellow and bicor. Lovely plants! Zone 7-8
