 I haven't tasted this yet, the first year I have grown it. It has handled the heat very well, I have not watered it since planting. It does have a few striped cucumber beetles eating on it, but they really haven't done much damage. Good bee plant, but the flowers have a smell that some might find unpleasant. Not overpoweringly so, though. Spreads very well, perhaps too well unless the spot is chosen carefully. I'll share if anyone is interested.  |

Its too cold in Cow-Hampshire to overwinter this plant. Mulch your root mass ver-r-ry thickly. Its supposed to be a perrenial.

I would be interested in getting this for my garden. I am trying to find unusual flowers that I do not have. I am still looking for something for my shady areas. The last time I communicated to you I was going to post pictures of my problem areas but things got very crazy here. I got a part time job after staying home for the past three years. I am really enjoying it but the weeds have taken over in my gardens and I was way behind on gathering seeds. I was able to get allot done today I have also, missed visiting this site and reading all the posts.

Barb, you are certainly welcome to starts of it. Just be aware of the fact that it will spread very well-and I really wouldn't want to put it very close to where you will have to smell it up close and personal. It is not overpowering, but noticable.
