    The length of time the flowers last makes them worthwhile, in a cool environment the flowers can last weeks.

                            I grew these from a mixed bunch of seed back in early spring.

                                I agree, up to a point, but if you google both you will see the difference.
                                The leaves on this are very hairy, a bit like felt to touch, and the flowers are a very long tube.

                                Believe it or not, closer to Gloxinia.
