Nursery contributed plant descriptions
A very nostalgic plant--one thinks of flowered (or floured) aprons, sugar cookies, zinnias on the table, and a garden full of annual charmers such as these. Grow as a specimen or in casual drifts; its fine foliage is a fresh green that turns purplish red in autumn. Loves heat.
