I think I’ve heard of these lovelies, but it probably was because of some of your northern/northeaster gardeners. They’re native in only one county in Texas, in the far northeast corner of the state, and even there they’re listed as rare. The might be in gardens, but I don’t know about that.
Surprising, given how readily they scatter seed. I brought in one clump, 20 years or so ago, and they now float about in all four corners of the property.
I was given some seed a few years ago and successfully began to grow these in my garden. They do now pop up in many garden nooks and I love them. They will grow in sun or part sun. They do flop after rains when they are blooming but I have learned to cut them back after blooming. They will respond by giving me a second bloom in the early fall.
