Keep them in full sun or they will get leggy.

Also if you want to add movement be sure to wire them when the stems are soft. Leave the wire with an extra long tail so you can continue to wire with the flush of growth. If you try to wire once they become hard they will snap easily.

Guess I better move mine to the south side of the house.

I had some flowers set seed last fall and the wind scattered seeds all over my pine saplings. So I now have seedlings growing in the same pots. I'm going to let them grow to see if there's any differences in flowers between the mother plant.

I was wondering about this. The ones I got from you are big and healthy, just not sure what to do with them. Sorry @hinmo24t , not trying to hijack your thread.

If the stems have hardened you can try to wire and bend just a little everyday to avoid snapping. If not you can always cut back to start over. As long as you don't cut back after July you should still see flowers in the fall.
