It is all the more pleasure to recommend the blue-flowering Mexican genchio for cultivation, which blooms profusely from May until the first frost and works well both in field cultivation and in potted cultivation. Żeniszki comes from Mexico and is a perennial species. Unfortunately, in our climatic conditions it does not survive winters, therefore in Poland it is grown as an annual plant.
