 creases in popularity because of its glossy dark green foliage and 

 profusion of flowers. The blossoms are somewhat like those of 

 Plilox, but they are larger and are not borne in clusters. The 

 plants are entirely free from insects. In mild climates they are long 

 season bloomers; in colder sections they may be treated as annuals 

 for late summer and autumn bloom, by starting the plants indoors 

 and setting them out later when the weather is warm. The plants 

 are good for potting as well as for use in the border and garden. 

 The foliage is attractive even when the plant is not in bloom.
