I planted this in a zone 3 and it has flourished the last 3 years, I prefer its smaller stature to the original as it does not flop over or sucker. I highly recommend.

I love this plant. I ordered mine in February from the website, but it was delayed until mid-june due to the unusually cold spring. I was worried about planting new plants when it was already hot. I planted it in a difficult FULL sun location. All day sun in intense zone 10 California. No drip. They were tiny when I planted them and have already reached 18 inches tall in a month. They're all budded up to bloom. I water them once a week, clay soil, and they're happy.

They delayed shipping this plant a month and half and shipped it out two weeks into June, and the plants arrived burnt from transit.

I love these Denim N Lace - I worried at first because I planted them before a very rainy spell, they didn’t like that - but they bounced back. Question: Do you prune these to the ground in spring?

I love the plant but the rains have caused them to blow apart every which way & I’ ed had to place a wire circle support around them but they don’t look natural. Some of the bottom leaves are either dropping or becoming blackened! Are they getting too much water & are they better where a morning 10 minute sprinkler doesn’t touch them?
