You'll love them...they put on a big show. Each year I add about 6 more plants to my spots! The more the merrier! They do increase/volunteer easily too. I put 4 of them in the free city garden at the corner and gave my son 3 for his front yard, near his poppies. The campions will bloom just as the poppies fade.

I bought another variety of campion seed from Ebay. An orange variety with purple leaves. They all germinated, but I don't know if they will bloom this year or not. If they do I'll take photos and save seed like I do. This variety does not have fuzzy leaves.

If it works out and I have seeds you can have some too when that happens. Anything that attracts hummers and is easy and perennial I like.
