This really is a gem of a plant - all the qualities of a petunia but more tolerant of drought (if you do forget to water container plants regularly!). Mine has been flowering from late spring and is still going strong. The bees absolutely love it too.
Have grown it in a container and it combines well with blue bacopa & marigolds and some lavender for structure.
here is a useful gardening tip for growing your own from cuttings - but apparently you can't sell them as they are registered!
