You'll soon know why this was the winner of the prestigious European 'Fleuroselect' award. Large, trumpet-shaped flowers in pink on tall hairy stems and big, maple-shaped leaves help to make this a garden showcase plant. Blooms all summer until frost. Good summer hedge, privacy screen or back of the border selection. Sow seeds outdoors where it is to grow in early spring or autumn; it will reseed itself under proper conditions. Use well-drained, humusy soil; needs lots of space and requires ample moisture. Can be grown indoors in a greenhouse, with full sun but remember that you need to allow time for the plant to dry out between waterings. Transplanting is difficult due to its extensive root system. Propagate by seed where they are to be grown.
