I hope the planter box is up on a pedestal or a window!  Mine started
out level with the top of the hanging basket and it's threatening the
plants on the ledge underneath it now.  It has to have grown 3 feet in a
month.  But the more stem area, the more flowers!  And the color is
unbelievably bright!  The buds color up very dark at first, almost a
deep, deep purple.  When they open, though, they're neon.  Can't speak
for pink wave, but somehow I doubt it's a nice pastel... :)
