Bonnie that question is answered many different ways for me. For example, I lost Strawberry Shake this spring, I hadn't seen it bloom yet, it had grown really well up until this spring's rot issues. I got a free replacement, but would have bought it if not. I also lost Splurge, a really beautiful pink, but it was a very iffy grower, and when it died, I just didn't feel like having to hold it's hand all the time to get it to bloom. It had bloomed twice in 5 years then died. I have Novel Idea, very similar looking that just made it back from the rot, and I'll keep it of course. Same thing with Photogenic, not going to replace it. Some like Pop Idol, I really love, tried it twice and both times it died. So I gave up. I'm on try number three with Temporal Anomaly, it's going into winter really well, we'll see. So in answer I guess I'd say, "It depends".
