Amazing flower and shot... Thank you...
Thank you.
Are these from a plant you have?
Yes, I have quie a few of them. I used to have the white one, which is more
spectacular, but unfortunately the scrub turkeys destroyed it.
I recently purchased seeds to start some of these gorgeous plants, but
haven't planted them as yet... any advice...?
They like a fair amount of water and I put some slow release fertilizer
around the base once or twice a year, that's about all.
When they finish flowering I leave the flowers on the plant till the seed
pods have formed, then just throw the pods into a well shaded moist area of
my garden and they self seed quite readily, though can take some months to
do so.
