The plants grew quickly, surrounding the entire south and west sides of the front porch. They're now sprouting beautiful blue and purple blossoms, but not in the abundance that I'm hoping for. Ants have bitten holes in the leaves, leaving them looking like lace or filigree, but still they grow.
It's a bit early for the full bloom here in Oklahoma, which usually happens late August to mid-September. Sadly, I'll only get a few weeks of enjoyment before the frost sets in. Then they'll drop their seeds everywhere and die. Still, it's worth it because next year the crop will be even larger and I'll be ready for the ants.
