Bushy plants bloom in shades of pink, white, red, and salmon throughout the summer and fall until the first frost. Easy to grow annuals with little maintenance needed to keep them blooming all season long. Although they prefer plenty of moisture, they generally bounce back quickly from wilting. Adding a protective layer of mulch around the plants will help keep roots cool and retain soil moisture. Flowers are good self-seeders in ideal growing conditions but are easily pulled in areas where you don’t want them. They make a nice living mulch weaving between other flowering plants.
