Interesting Notes about Wishbone Flower:

This is a colorful annual that is an easy care delight for containers and gardens. The plant prefers well-drained, consistently moist soils especially in hot weather. They are heat tolerant to a degree as long as they get a break from the sun in the afternoon. In fact, they will do very nicely in full shade, although the flowers won't be as plentiful.
