Jim & Noreen, I am assuming this thing is not hardy up here in zone 8A, am I
correct?

landscaping, perhaps for the reason that it does reseed so  much.   I've
had my
purple one for a number of years, almost a decade,  it is doing well.

Would you like a cutting from the white one??

I have  the purple one, Noreen. It's something of a nuisance here--seeds
all  around. Not exactly invasive because, if you're diligent and own a
machete, you can control it. I suspect this is why it's not used in
local landscaping.

But it is quite pretty and, in spite of myself,  I'm somewhat fond of
it--so I always allow two or three volunteers  survive. And you are
quite right about profuse blooming times--right now  we've got several
masses of purple along the back fence.

I don't  know how long it lives in your area, but here it look pretty
tatty after  about 3 years.
