| Author's Notes | I used 6 of these in a front entry garden and for he first year they were fantastic. I dead headed and they continued to bloom the entire summer. I just hope that they following year (summer 2012) will be as good as he first. In 2012 we had a late frost and killed the plants back. Getting few blooms this season. In 2013 they were fantastic lots of blooms. The owner was very happy. In 2015 still going strong, but maybe a few less flowers. |
