Very nice. I have the 15 or so Fire Spinners that I put in last year. I lost a few from my hens pecking at them, but I plan to divide them next March. Looking forward to blooms, probably in about a month here.
Some of them could suffer from your winters. I have heard some people complain. I don't think I'll ever be without these now. I can go on vacation and don't have to ask someone to water my plants.
Awesome. I think your established plant will be tougher too. You should see how huge the roots of 'Fire Spinner' get in one year. I moved one and it had roots over 2 feet long.

Mine are not blooming yet, we have had a ton of rain and I did not mix any sand in with the soil. Should dig them up and maybe do a pot. At least I can shelter it if we get too much rain. I do love this plant and I want to make it work.
Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Mat.6:28-29
Susan - I think if your soil is well drained they will be ok. People with a lot of snow and cold in the winter have to give them extra good drainage. If you have cooperi or Fire Spinner, they can grow in regular garden soil in the South.
