| Posted by jvdubb (48036 MI - Zone 6b) on Aug 24, 2014 6:02 PM I purchased this plant from Lowe's four years ago. It has been very prolific for me. The plant itself got huge and I had to thin it out several times. It blooms in spring and will bloom two more times until fall if I keep up on removing the spent blooms. Other than dead heading, I find it requires no special care. [ Reply to this comment | |
