This is the first time I am trying to grow a flower(s) in the Aerogarden. I threw it in there simply because I just wanted to fill the gap with something interesting.
The flower is called Bachelor's Button. When it blooms, it should be blue. I think there are 2-3 sprouts in this pod. This is a welcome addition, as the temps have cooled down outside and the flowers will start to die soon if we get a frost or two like last year. Last year's frost wiped out all of my penta plants outside as well as 2 or 3 small, new hibiscus bushes. Fortunately these plants grown back after being heavily pruned. The pentas came back in full force, but the hibiscus are growing very slowly and I am not sure they will ever fully recover. I may reattempt hibiscus one day.
