Joanie,
I don't think it would be too difficult, but I never tried it. There's
always so much that I want to try and I only have so much room under the
lights for seed starting. I wish that I could find plants instead.
I keep invisioning it behind hot pink phlox with some purple campanula.
Perhaps it would look as well with white oriental lilies and white liatris.
Has anyone out there attempted to grow the above-mentioned annual? It is a
green-flowered tobacco. A reference book says the following: "airy sprays
of chartreuse bells on wiry stems above refined, narrow leaves make this
plant a beautiful garden novelty. Inside each bell are surprising blue
anthers. Hummingbirds are very fond of the flowers. The plant blooms from
early summer to frost and has long-lasting flowers when cut. Grows 3-4
feet tall and may reach 5 feet. Light shade is best, but full sun if
humid. Needs fertile, well-drained soil; moderate moisture."
