Brad, I haven't had trouble with early frosts very much. Last year when we had that really early heat in March,and then that cold spell in April, I had one that had the blooms ruined, but that's the only time it happened. I have many more that I can't find pictures of. Some are dwarfs that are really tiny and earlier then the SDB's Cat's Eyes is one of my favorites and it seems to bloom a nice long time too.
