Describe the plant here...
==Cultivation==
Easily grown in any well-drained soil in a sunny position{{pfaf200}}. Plants will tolerate occasional short-lived lows down to about -5°c so long as they are in a very well-drained soil{{pfaf260}}. A perennial plant, it is generally tender in the temperate zone but can be grown outdoors as an annual, flowering well in its first year and setting seed{{pfaf200}}{{pfafK}}. Plants will occasionally overwinter in a cold greenhouse{{pfafK}}. It grows well in an ornamental vegetable garden{{pfaf200}}.
===Propagation===
Seed - sow March in a warm greenhouse{{pfaf}}. The seed should germinate with two weeks, when it is large enough to handle prick it out into individual pots and plant out after the last expected frosts{{pfaf}}. The seed can also be sown in situ in late April in areas with warm summers{{pfaf}}.
