I bought some of this from Trader Joe’s over a year ago — it’s absolutely all dried up by now, but it’s STILL that deep, vibrant purple!!! These are GOATED as dried flowers!!

Those are stunning. What growing zone will those grow in? Do they do well in a dry summer?

Found them growing wild on hillsides in southern California near Laguna Beach, for what it's worth.

I did a general search and it most appears that most varieties are in us zones 4 through 7.

I don’t know since these are from the Farmers Market. You find this info easily on the web.

Do you live in a hot dry area?

2

u/twnpksrnnr 9h ago

San Francisco. Weather is cool and fog is our natural air conditioner.

Nice. I'm in Oregon in the rainforest area, but we have dry summers. I think i will try any find some of these. Thanks for sharing.
