Seeds can be sown now, no problem. It is a medicinal plant and growing wild in lahore and in lawrence garden as well although the colors are not as vibrant as the ones by izhar. And above of all some varieties are very fragrant in evening. A true perennial in lahore. And ppl propagate it from roots as well.
