I'm not, as a rule, fond of glads but those look quite beautiful.   Smiley  When you say 'mini' is that because they don't grow as tall as normal glads?

These were called "Blue glads" in the catalogue which they are certainly not. Funny thing, they exactly matched the color of the lambs'ears and the "Uproar Rose" zinnias I happened to plant right beside them.  Just can't trust those catalogues when they say "blue".
