But I have a friend with an abundance of seedlings so I may take a few just for fun. Your photo of them with the zinnias and rudbeckia is gorgeous!!

In summer, it reminds me of a burst of fireworks. I've never had to stake it. I like that cleome reseeds itself. The clover-like seedlings are easy to spot and pull out if they are growing where you don't want them. I have even lifted seedlings in their soil with a spade and placed them in a more desirable spot. Lovely posting.

It sounds like I would have done better starting them outside! Oh well...we shall see how it goes because I have always wanted to have these in my garden! They are stunning and your photos knocked me off the couch Jennifer! Wishing you a happy end to your week...and yes these would look gorgeous against your fence!

I should look for some plants. I remember a garden that had very good old-fashioned ones every year. They were always in the same spot so perhaps they self-seeded. I expect that when they self-seed, they come up faster than from bought seeds.rochefleuriegardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06783773632775842680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7116278351699614429.post-86711737501260296382015-03-18T12:22:16.148-07:002015-03-18T12:22:16.148-07:00What a beautiful post Jennifer!
