I received this last year from Precious Joy. It has really grown and multiplies. I now have six, more to trade in the fall.

Vibrant rich colors!

It is quite bold in its own way, isn't it?  I love it!

Some people................

The gardeners here would dig up a rose bush or anything that really stood out...or they'd hack it up to pieces simply because they are so careless and don't pay a bit of attention to what they are doing. I don't have mine in the ground.......I sure hope it starts to do something because I just love the plant! Great growing, by the way!

Dor, that's really fabulous! I got one too, but mine hasn't done anything yet.......What are you doing to make it grow so fabulously????

I haven't

done anything special. I amended a hole in my lily bed and planted it and yahoo it came up. I didn't think it would do anything since it grew so slowly in the beginning. I checked it when I got home from out of town and I had more babies. The heat and lack of watering didn't effect it as much as my Illustias planted next to it. 

My lavender Moonflowers I grew from seed were pulled up last Sunday while I was at church by my Gardeners helper. I am sure it had to be his helper since he hasn't pulled up any of my plants before. The bad thing is I had them trained on a metal small shepherd's hook and the biggest one was about 6 feet growing into my holly shrubs. How ridiculous is that.
