Professional Growing Information This plant struggled from day one regardless of how much attention it received. It just burned like crazy here in my garden in North Texas. We had a very hot and dry summer that started in May with no relief from the heat. I never got to see the beautiful flowers that were pictured. I have tried transplanting it to a new location. I'm crossing my fingers that next year will bring flowers and beautiful foliage.

We have been very impressed with this plant! We added 5 to a new "full sun" garden last summer (late July) and they are doing extremely well. They have more than doubled in size and have filled in very nicely. The colour is bright and vibrant; they've been blooming for 2 weeks and have more flowers on the way. Love them!!

It has beautiful flowers, and vivid color. It just didn’t grow much new foliage. So much so, that I came here, to see how tall it is supposed to get. It says 20”x20”. Mine was store bought and in a pot. It’s only about 8 inches high. I plan to plant it, in its permanent location. That may help give it the space it needs, to reach its full potential. I will also add, the flowers do fade quite a bit each day and they don’t last a terribly long time. But, it did push out new buds just as one began to wilt. Overall, a decent plant.
