This plant is certainly eye-catching when blooming. I've had it for a number of years, and it is still rather small. I've enjoyed a few flowers from it the last two years thanks to aggressive use of Liquid Fence in my front yard against the deer which has worked fabulously. I lost track of it for a few years with the buds being eaten constantly; I'm keeping extensive maps now to keep track of my plants better. I may try moving it to another location to see if it grows larger and has more flowers as it's too beautiful to abandon.
