I also got several pot of them last year at HD. They have done well and are blooming very well for the last 8 weeks, No deadheading needed. The only let down I have with these Cool Waves is there is not the wave to them that was so talked about on both HD E-mail sent out last year or on the Cool Wave web sit (about a 30 min viewing). But they really do bloom very nice and all colors are sharp.
