Hilarious!

Really and truly, this plant is amazing. I bought it as a tiny little thing from Bluestone last fall, planted it then. It overwintered well, started blooming in very late May or early June, I forget which. I swear, it has been blooming ever since. And not just a few blossoms- loads of them all the time. Even today, Nov. 2, it still has pretty many flowers. Several nights of frost haven't fazed it. Like the energizer bunny, it just keeps going and going. In summer it gets sun from late morning to early afternoon. Now it gets little direct sun, 2 or 3 hours max, but is still blooming.

I have never been so impressed by a plant. I recently bought another from Santa Rosa for another spot. Bluestone's prices have skyrocketed, I won't be buying from them any more.
