Leptosiphon

Are we prejudiced against hardy annuals? This is one of my favorites:
It does best for me when sown in Fall. It likes a lot of sun and a sandy soil. It blooms for many weeks, and reseeds. Very easy to grow; just sow in place.

Umm, not that I'm aware of.
I'd love to grow that! What species is it?

I've never seen a species listed. They are just a swarm of hybrids. My original seeds from Chiltern were listed as French hybrids. They still sell them.
