Cathedral Bells- Violet
19 October 2020Grew successfully. Very interesting watching the flower heads form. They begin white then turn into a gorgeous violet. I didn't have much expectations when I threw them in a raised garden bed. I will plan a better display next time as they didn't have enough area to grow where I put them and ended growing up a peach tree. Looked beautiful though. Purchasing again.
