Love them!

I first purchased the African Cracker jack two years ago. At first I thought I had recieved thr wrong seed because I had what looked to be bushes instead of maroglods, thier hight reached about 4. 1/2 feet. But suddenly they exploded in blooms. They continued to bloom until our first hard freeze in October. The brillent colors and size won my heart. Very hardy! I planted them in an area where I have had s tremendously difficult time getting anything to grow. They are by far my favorite!! Can't say enough good things about them. LOVE THEM
