General Information

A garden annual which grows easily in the cooler season. Small to medium-sized single or double flowers with irregular delicate recurred petals and a long thin spur. There are many shades from pink to purple, red, white and often variegated or multi-cloured. It is propagated by seeds. The mature seed capsules open by touch and spread the small round brown seeds. That's why it is also called 'touch-me-not'.
