I have bought from Schreiners and some plants are going on 2 years old. They weren't massive fans like Maryott. Some are really struggling. Some are ok. I lost a few the first winter and they did replace 2 of them, although if you could see how pitiful Orange Dynamite looks, you'd ask me why I have it even taking up space. So many of what were 2 fans are only 1 fan now.
And like BXNCBX, I have had had Maryott plants now for 6 years. So many of them are still 1-2 fans. My Griffin Miller is now 3 fans and will bloom for the 2nd time in 6 years. Prickly Sensation has done better, but this year there is not a single fan on either of my clumps. Billy the Kid is about 3-4 fans. Outer Space is 1 sole fan. I just love those flowers, but the plants are not happy here.
