I sowed some Kew Blue seeds, but I don't think any of them have survived. I had one plant marked...it kept growing taller..I thought it didn't seem right. Finally it bloomed...a lovely weed. I guess the real seedlings died and all that was left was some hatefull little weed!!! Maybe one will surprise me somewhere.

I hope your 'Kew Blue' seeds will reward you with a beautiful bloom and not a nasty weed! Shirley Maryland Zone 7a   Starzgarden  Posted on Tuesday, July 04, 2006 - 06:09 am EST :    That is a beauty,Shirley. I have never seen the chocolate color before. Am very partial to plants with that coloring! Starzgarden - Michigan, Zone "five"   Shirley1md  Posted on Friday, July 07, 2006 - 04:39 pm EST :    Thanks Tammy. It's my first flower in that color and I really like it too. Shirley Maryland Zone 7a   Bluesibe  Posted on Monday, July 10, 2006 - 07:52 am EST :    I plant these every year, they are a favorite. I have a small garden, so I buy by the six pack, but can't choose color. I love the chocolate. Carol Bluesibe   Shirley1md  Posted on Tuesday, July 11, 2006 - 07:13 pm EST :    Thanks Carol! I love the deep rich color of this bloom...didn't think I would, but I do! Shirley Maryland Zone 7a
