Needs full sun & some water on well drained soil to reach its maximum height. Growing to a height of 4 feet ( 122 cm) it takes on the appearance of a small shrub with long arching branches that produce a profusion of bright blue to violet flowers. Each bloom only lasts one day but the plant produces multitudes of them every day. The flowers are followed by very showy pods in green & purple which resemble miniature Chinese Lanterns. They make the plant very attractive throughout the whole year. As fall arrives the pods turn brown & hang from the branches like rows of Christmas decorations. They can either be cut for use in dried flower arrangements or left in the garden to provide winter interest in the more bleak months. Shoo Fly Plant Seeds | Nicandra Physaloides Organic
