Professional Growing Information 
Planted about 12 of these and most of them just are not growing. They were planted all over the garden and they just won't take off. It's been a year and a half, so I have definitely given them time. While everything else around them is growing like crazy these guys are doing nothing :0/

I planted these late summer of 2021. Watered moderately. Cut them short. Here we are summer of 2022 and they have not returned. What a waste of money.

I planted 18 of these in a sunny location in the summer of 2021. Zone 5a. Not a single one came back in the spring. Not in a wet area. Expensive mistake.
