Posted by chelle (N.E. Indiana - Zone 5b) on Jul 31, 2012 9:52 AM Very deep color tones in the blooms of this plant - very nice! Fairly compact, nicely branched and drought tolerant. This transplant survived two months of no rain, in full sun, with very little supplemental water. [ Reply to this comment | |
