Profusion of four-petaled flowers, sky blue with a white center, on wiry-stems with thread-like foliage. Reportedly prefers cool weather, so not sure how they'll do for us in Houston. They started blooming in their seed pots in mid-March, so I set them in a patio pot at the base of a Meyer lemon, and I'll see how long they last.
