Dear Judy:
“Does anyone else grow this charming native? Has anyone
seen it growing wild?
Is anyone else interested in it?”
I am supposed to have it in the collection and it is in a large border with
other perennials in the open. It is different than the rather weedy
Mirabilis jalapa (that also has tuberous roots) mainly in being more compact
and rounded in shape, and not weedy. One thing of interest in your message
is the description of the flowers. Mine has yellow flowers and these had
always made me think I have the wrong plant. . Can you eventually post an
image to PBS?
Regards
Alberto
P. S.: otherwise my “longiflora” is a nice dependable plant that flowers for
many months until late autumn
