Large, spectacular flowers which I think resemble the shape of rose blooms.  Foliage is an interesting blue-green.  Bloom colours are shades of purple, pink, cream, and white.

Height of about 12", spread about 8".

We grow them in full sun, and give them lots of water.

Require 5 to 6 months to produce blooms.  The above plants were sown indoors February 15th, 1999 and began blooming in late July, early August, 1999.  In 2000, I started them even sooner, on February 1st.

Glen's score:  9 of 10.
