I purchased this plant from a grower in Lufkin, TX in 2009. I took it home to Austin and planted it in my garden. I don't think it liked the soil or lack of rainfall, because it never really looked happy. I got a few blooms, but very little increase. I moved to the Houston area in March of this year and it is doing much better! I got some blooms and the plant seems much happier now. I am anxious to see how it does next year. Good soil and rainfall are wonderful things!
