CATCHFLY aka (Drooping Catchfly-None so pretty) Easily grown from seed. Grows fast and will start blooming mid-summer and will bloom through fall. They are called Catchfly because the stems are covered in a sticky liquid that attracts and then catches flies and holds them. Great for planting around decks, patios, balcony's, etc. Pretty much a carefree plant once seedlings are established. Drought tolerant. A little shade through the day won't bother them at all. Does well in containers or the garden. 1000+Seeds per order. Thank you.
