Started from seed in 2017 for the memory garden, I don\u2019t recall for sure from where the seeds came or the identity of the cultivar. Four of the plants remain in that garden and have cheery tubular flowers with contrasting throats and feature jellybean colors of purple and pink. They get about 15\u2033 tall and are nicely uniform, starting to bloom here in late June, which times out perfectly after the columbines and lupines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
