The flowers on this plant almost hurt your eyes, especially if you plant them in groups. It is said to be a perennial but I have never had one get through the winter so I treat it as an annual. This plant has an incredibly long flowering season provided you remove fading flowers.This plant needs full sun and well-drained soil. I recommend keeping young plants moist until established and feed them throughout the flowering season with a multi-purpose liquid feed round the roots. Don't forget your sunnies when admiring them ;^)
