honeyx4 | On August 19, 2019 | Miscellaneous Event I purchased this plant in the clearance section fall 2018 from a local nursery. It didn't even have any blooms. It over wintered well, bloomed early spring and now has self seeded and I have at least 10 other plants that appear to be thriving. It blooms better when it gets moderate watering but seems to tolerate some level of drought also. |
