It's a good performer as well, even here in CO! Bloomed the first year in my garden, spring 2015. I was gone when it bloomed last year but had 3 buds, a very good increase for me. Here's a pic of my very first bloom from CP. Really bad hail storms that spring as you can see from the foliage but the bud opened with no damage, not something I could say for the majority of my garden that year....
