Anyone recognise this plant which was given to me by my late mother some years ago.
 Its flowers are a very vivid Mauve type of colour and flowers July onwards.

    Thank you,

    They say to soak the seeds in hot water for 2/3 days till seeds swell and sow indoors in Feb. ??

    I've always found that it self seeds and spreads prolifically without any help.

    No need to soak the seeds TerrysWorld - I acquired some seed a couple of years ago - easy to grow in a tray - then transplant outside - once it is established in the soil you will find it self seeds freely - a bit too freely but a very nice plant. The flowers can be red, deep pink as above or white.
