Kelley,
The pic is true...no touchups. It is an amazing color. The blooms are 4-5inches across. I would love to setup a trade, send me an email.

I was researching this plant and came across this post. Do you know yet if this will be a perennial for you in Zone 7? When did you plant the seeds, and how long did it take to reach bloom? I have seeds and am not certain when to start them.
