"Blooms the first year from seed. Bells sit closely to one another on sturdy stems borne on vigorous plants. Exquisite color is a shade somewhere between creamy peach and pale shell-pink. Peach color is most intense at the lightly freckled throat. Bells form on one side of the stem. Best when treated as a fall or spring-planted hardy annual, as winter survival is generally poor when treated as a perennial. Pelleted seeds." ~Johhny's Seeds Pelleted seed purchased new and divided up into small plastic vials which are then put into little ziplock packets with the variety and color on them.
