Donna,
Rehmannia elata a.k.a. "Chinese Foxglove", "Hardy Gloxinia", other common
names I'm sure. Is a repeat bloomer for me. Flowers grow on a stem about
12-18" tall and are a beautiful pinky-purple. You'll like it!! It doesn't
seem to be a long lived perennial, maybe 3-4 years is all I've been able to
keep it going. It start easily from seed & cuttings though if you want to
keep it going.

I was at the local nursury just last Thursday and pick up something new,
or I should say, new for me. "rehmannia elata" common name
(chinese foxglove) does anyone have this plant and if so, tell me
something about it.
Also, another new one for me, Mexican Petunia . that's all it has on
the tag, and I haven't been able to find any information about either,
so far.
would welcome you thoughts and input.
