| Planted some seeds of "Fama", now have smallish plants to set out. I've never grown this one, and since they are small plants, I'm having trouble judging just how tall the foliage will be. I know the flowers come up on tall, thin stems, and that's fine - but I need to know about the foliage in order to place the plant. So, how tall does the foliage get? Is this a front of the border plant or hide it somewhere because the foliage isn't great? Can it take any amount of shade or is it strictly full sun? Spacing? |

| I love that plant, nice choice! I'd say it's a front/mid-front of the border plant. The foliage is about a foot tall and it's nice looking - or at least it's not offensive in any way. Spacing is maybe 16" or so. A foot seems too close, so something in the 16-18 inch range feels about right. Mine have filled in around the original plants with seedlings so I can't say what the spacing originally was. Full sun up to about half day shade is what they get here. The long stems are fantastic. They are a mainstay in bouquets and they go with just about any color. I hope they prove to be good plants for you. I just love mine and have them in several places - they seem happy everywhere! |
