Outstanding companion plant, shown here in a pot with red kale and larkspur. Most effective, easily-grown flower for attracting a wide range of beneficial pest-eating insects to the garden. Thousands of little flowers with the scent of honey carpet the ground or spill over pots and walls. Likes full sun in cool conditions and part shade during hot weather. Planting as an understory with larger plants works well. When bloom slacks off, it is because seedpods are forming--shear off the top 4-6" of the stems with scissors and give it a little compost and water. A flush of new bloom will follow quickly. 300 seeds
