A tender perennial treated as a half hardy annual.
The Rocket series (shown) is much taller than the
Tahiti series as it can grow up to 2-1/2 to 3 ft.

level in the fall and it will survive a mild
winter! A well drained soil is essential. Fertilize
monthly. Pinch young plants for heavier branching.
