Correction. This is sweet peas statesman. I would highly recommend T & M seeds. Very good germination. Good deals and very hardy plants.

For Mass effect, planting needs to be closer than recommended planting distances. In this way one has to compromise on individual plant's over all health. I am in bad habit of planting closer all plants. In this regard i observed that most annuals do not mind that, but Gazania will mind it BIG TIME. Gazania is a handsome grower and requires atleast 1 Square feet to grow well. I had to throw very healthy Gazanias because of this folly. Healthy growth and rain damage caused them to appear miserable. Lesson Learnt. Give Gazania its due space.

Roses in Full Shade. These Roses are planted in full shade through the year.Their growth is healthy and put up a good show maybe not as vigorous as they would have done in Full Sun.
