"I started these from seed, in the house, and attained a fairly good germination rate (it would have been better under lights). Nevertheless, ended up with 36 plants from two 25-seed packets. Used the jiffy-start peat pellets to get them going, then in early April moved them out to my own portable greenhouse here in NW Ohio.
These have been strong plants so far; they are nice, compact plants that turn into a solid mound of color after they've begun to bloom, and either fill a pot nicely or form a nice short hedge after they fill out. They've worked well in the ground and in pots, and transfer well from pots to the ground. They've been very resistant to heavy rains and dry periods, though they will begin to wilt in the pot if you forget them for too long.
My only question now is how long they last...if they last through the season and avoid powdery mildew long enough, this one will earn five leaves in my book, and a permanent place in my garden!"
