This is a wonderful annual that was native to South America. Plant in full sun.
I was introduced to these annual flowers a couple of years ago and was amazed by the colouring and the formation of the blooms.
To see them is to love them and to want them in your garden.

Take time to click the above links and see the slideshows of the venidium in bloom in 2007.
The white flowers have an exotic inner ring and they can be 2 to 12 cm. in size.

Plant the tiny seeds in full sun, either in large containers or along the borders of your garden. You won't be disappointed.
I plant the seeds towards the end of May when all danger of frost has passed. The plants bloom about August.
The seedlings are easily transplanted. Alternate the orange prince and zulu prince for striking colour combinations.
This is a must-have annual plant for the garden.

Hi Robert, comments don't show till approved by me.
Neat blog Crafty Gardener. You have some wonderful plants grown from seed and cool to show those seeds too. I haven't heard of Venidium before so I'm going to do some reading about it. The flowers are beautiful. I love lavatera although I don't have any in this garden. Now you make me want it again!!!
