Carol, is this one truly deciduous?
I grew this one for ca. 10 years. After seeing only plant growth and no blooms for years, I thought I had a dud and when I saw another plant at a show, I picked it up too. Now I had two duds!! Never saw a bloom and figured I just couldn't grow them. Too bad, they are gorgeous!
In my hands they started to become deciduous about the year before they graced my compost pile.....
