Any tips on dealing wit this plant? Anyone have one? What is the typical
bloom season?


Mine started blooming about a month ago and it usually blooms all summer for me.
I remove spent blooms and fertilize it right after doing that. I leave many
pods on the second flush of bloom to have seeds. I start the seeds for more
plats. I have about 10 waiting to be planted in the ground. They are reliably
root hardy here in our USDA Zone 8b. They are very drought tolerant.
