I buy this plant every year. It never disappoints!!!; Excellent planted in ground for a pop of color and interest although you need to trim to keep from taking over. Gorgeous in flower box to fill in and spill out around other annuals. Its a staple every year and I honestly do have the best yard on the block!! Not bragging just stating fact.

THIS PLANT LOOKS GOOD WITH ALMOST ANY PLANT. IT GROWS SO FAST YOU HAVE TO KEEP CUTTING IT BACK OR IT TAKES OVER. WON'T STOP ME FROM USING IT WITH ABOUT EVERY THING I PLANT.

Wow, It needs a warning: plant with other fast, healthy growers because plants can get swallowed. I was beautiful with peach geraniums before it grew over the top. I really loved it, though. I still had a dark grass in the middle. PRETTY COMBO!
