The first year they are planted is such an adjustment isn't it. You don't know what to expect, but I expect it all HAHA. Your Hems are realy looking nice now. Just as they should. I planted Love Those Eyes a few years back and lost it and a kind DG'r insisted she had a clump to send me. Well she did along with 3 others,. I lost LTE but still have the other 3 so it must not like it here. Is is so pretty and bright.
I do like the one they said is a Stamiles. Beautiful form and color and a nice midrib. Hope it is one of theirs as they are usually pretty hardy stock.
