| Posted by Frillylily (springfield MO area - Zone 6a) on May 10, 2017 9:45 PM I planted a row of these. Super disappointed. They do not grow in sync. One will shoot up and the one next to it just sits there. I feel like I am constantly watering them. They look dried out a lot. The lighter color causes them to sunburn in hot sun. Would not plant them again if I had to do over. [ Reply to this comment | |
