It's a perennial in some places but a short lived one...3 years at most.

Dodge - I have that plant - it gets teensy tiny seeds and will spread all over if you let it. It is an annual here, but every year I get at least a few that I am able to transplant very carefully to an area I'd rather have it - the seedlings can pop up anywhere because as I've said the seeds are so tiny!

Same color as Diane posted - I didn't know it comes in other colors?

Each flower stem seems to last a pretty long time - I never noticed how long exaactly though.
