 very short stems and when cut they show to best advantage floating 

 in a dish of water. The colors range from white to dark purple, and

 situation. Larger and more double flowers will be obtained if some 

 of the young shoots are cut out when quite small, or by transplanting 

 two or three times. Hardy annual; one to two feet high.
