Habit
To 4 or 5ft tall and 2-3ft wide. Unusual flowers in shades of pink, purple, and white. Each flower has six long stamens that protrude in a spray. Leaves and growth habit resemble that of Cannabis plants.
Sun/Soil
Likes full sun. Fertile soil will produce the largest plants, but can be grown in regular soil.
Germination/Sowing
Seeds can be direct sown in spring or started in flats in the spring and transplanted out once danger of frost has passed.
Growing/Care
The plants are rapidly growing and will explode into flower in early summer and bloom through fall. They need moderate watering through the season, but seem to become reasonably drought tolerant once they grow to full size.
