Aside from this most remarkable quality, it is a beauti- ful flowering plant, and blooms in a short time (sixty days) from seed. It is particularly valuable as a winter bloomer, the blossoms being large, cup-shaped and of a lovely light blue color, with a white center. It is a profuse bloomer in pots both summer and winter.
