Professional Growing Information I purchased this plant last year and planted in late summer. I was shocked in early spring to see it come into full bloom like the above photos. A nice surprise after winter.

Planted springof 2016 and it grew well in a hot, dry summer with weekly watering. Pretty poor soil conditions too. Didn't do much this first year, but it survived. And that says a lot for the area I planted it in. Can't wait to see it next spring.
