Surprisingly fast growing, plenty of flowers. Product image implies multiple colors on the one plant, however that hasn’t happened as yet. One plant has been a lovely deep purple, the other has been bi-colored, white and magenta. Hoverflies seem to like them, a couple of bees have had a fly-past and thought better of it. Presumably because the flowers are so tiny (and the bees around here aren’t) they’ve decided not without scaffolding and a safety harness. Hopefully next year as the plant grows and spreads they may feel there is sufficient support to risk it.
