Thank you for liking.Sorry I don't know the variety,but looks to be Titan Series( More Green Catalogue) ; in future will remember to ask the vendor.I also think they are annuals rather than perennials, but not sure. I got the ready plants from a nursery about two months back; first set of flowers are gone but the plants are still as fresh, though a few branches from each of the four plants have died, probably due to overwatering. They are in full shade; don't know if they should be kept in partial shade- will move them there if advised by any one of you.

Munir mine still had flowers on them, any way I decided to treat them as annuals and have emptied the pots except two, (to see how they behave). strangely those in the ground are doing better although the flowers have become smaller.
Did you get some seeds from yours?
