Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Thought by many to be the most beautiful annual. Easily grown in a sunny position. They smother themselves in Spring and Summer for 4 months plus with a profusion of pastel pink flowers atop wiry stems that wave in the breeze. Fresh green foliage. 10" tall, 12" wide. Very nice in a container. A MUST if you haven't tried it! Pink & blue german catchfly are especially beautiful grown together.
