These are supposed to be perrenial, I guess I will find out next spring. They are bred to be better heat tolerant and so forth than the original wild ones. So we will see how they do.
I just ordered (on line) the GOVERNOR selection of Russel hybreds, which is a blue and white. I saw it and flipped, thought it was lovely. I have just the spot.
Now the thing that I think will be extra great is that the short new hybrids bloom about two weeks earlier than the Russels. So if you have both you can really extend your bloom time.
