"(Ipomopsis rubra) Now you can enjoy the festive colors of this native Southwest annual regardless of where you garden. Breeders have refined this mix to near perfection. The range of colors is breathtaking in the garden as well as fresh bouquets. Plant in the back of the border or cutting garden as plants grow to 4' tall. Narrow, upright plants can be spaced 10-12"" apart in the garden.
Grow in full sun in average, well-drained soil. You can sow directly in the garden after the chance of all frost or start indoors 4-6 weeks before last frost for earlier bloom. Cannot ship plants to Hi or Ak."

Late sowing,
September 26, 2009 Submitted bydicentra63 from Salt Lake City
"I tried to sow these in situ as the packet instructed, but they did not germinate. Maybe because of the long, cool, wet spring we had.
I planted them later in peat pots, then planted them out, and they're doing fine, only they haven't had time to bloom."

"This was the first year I tried Ipomopsis, and I was delighted by the lovely flowers. I love the cottage garden effect much like my larkspur, but this one is definitely at late summer hot beauty. It takes a long time to bloom, but it's worth it."

"I started this plant early, inside under lights. It is now July 11 and the plants have grown to only one foot tall and no sign of blooming. The product information should have indicated that it is a late bloomer."
