 remarkable ; it is at first green, but when the plants are 

 about two months old the leaves begin to turn red on the 

 margins and gradually the whole leaf and stem are suf- 

 fused. 



Seed sown in spring will produce blooming plants early 

 in the summer, which will continue in unparalleled profu- 

 sion until killed by frost, and is of scarcely less value for 

 growing in pots for winter blooming 15

borders and low beds, and also well suited for growing in 



pots; although perennials, they will flower the same season if the seed is sown

over in cold frames. % ft.
