Patriot's Gem doesn't have a strong signal but grows in many places as it is one of Fred Gadd's plants which was hybridized in CT. Rick Tasco's 'Free As the Wind' bloomed here last spring and had several branches. We will see how it does here next year as it was such a dry summer, but perhaps it likes that. Remember the fans will disappear over the summer & start to return in fall. Don't panic if they do so.
