About this plant
This is a frost tender perennial that is usually grown as an annual. It has good sized flowers that are white with blue flashes on the petals. The blooms are rounded with wavy, sometimes overlapping petals, and the patination can, with some imagination, resemble a face. This reaches around 45cm (18in) height with 75cm (2ft 6in) spread.

Water during dry periods
For plants in the ground, when there has been little or no rain for a period of 7-10 days and the soil is dry, give it a deep watering and repeat weekly until there is a downpour of rain. Check plants in pots more frequently, especially in hot weather.

Summer - early · Outdoors
Apply slow release fertiliser
Apply a slow release fertiliser which is spread around the root area of the plants soon after they have come into growth. (Or apply a liquid feed at regular intervals throughout the growing season.)
This is a simple way to provide a nutrient boost as a single annual procedure.
