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

they seem to be a little shorter, thinner stemmed and smaller and fewer blooms/stem

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".
