Here is where it gets more sticky for me. I also had g-r-e-a-t success with Uninhibited in 2013. A long run. Lots of blooms. Then it sputtered once it was done and fall arrived, dying back completely until spring. It has come back, but not that strongly yet, and no blooms this year. I like it enough to keep it (forever!!!) but ... I wonder if zone 8b might be just as hard for it? What are your max temps?
