These are biennial. They flower the second year . A great lesson in garden patience!
These were on of the first flowers imported to America in colonial times. Thomas Jefferson kept them in his garden at Monticello. ( just some nerdy garden info for you.)
In this picture you can see how the bottom petals flair out to form a saucer.My girls started these from seem last year. From a packet of seed we ended up with 3 big beautiful blooming plants this year.
