Description

Harvested from the gardens at Monticello.
Spider Flower is a self-seeding annual native to southern regions of South America and was introduced to England via the West Indies in 1817.  Also called Spider Legs and Grandfather's Whiskers, it was considered a choice flowering annual by Robert Buist in his 1839 edition of The American Flower Garden Directory.  Its showy pink and white flowers, large multi-lobed leaves, and strong growth habit make it a handsome addition to the flower border in summer and fall.  Attracts bees and butterflies; deer resistant.

Direct sow seeds outdoors around the last frost date in spring.  Approximately 75-85 seeds per packet.
