This is a flower that I will always grow going forward forever. When I first saw this flower I was in love but once I read the reviews on it, many people stated how difficult it was to grow from seed, even with the most experienced growers. I didn’t let that comment discourage me. I wanted to try it regardless of what others said. I will say that it was very slow to germinate and also it stayed in the tiny seedling stage forever, I thought that I did something wrong. They are very hardy as far as the foliage goes. The texture is that of a succulent but thick almost like eucalyptus leaves are. They make every bouquet look beautiful and dreamy. I am no floral designer but this flower made me look like one. My favorite was this pink that is pictured below and I believe it’s apricot. I need to take another look at the seeds that I purchased and will write it here when I do. I did save some flower heads hoping that I might be able to get some seeds from it. Another cool thing with this flower is that once you cut the blooms back, there are more shoots and I tried this hoping to get more blooms and to my surprise it is working. I see buds on the second flush and its getting close to the first freeze in a couple weeks or less so I hope that it blooms in time. This flower definitely stole my heart!
