    Purchased from Swenson Gardens in Watertown, MN fall of 2021. Planted in part sun under white pines. Soil was rich pine compost that is very well drained. Came up strong and produced 1 big flower. Swenson roots are very healthy. Hoping it keeps going strong. Swenson posted that it could be finicky (drainage?) but no problems as of yet. Bloom lasted for about 10 days. Even in the terrible early 90+ degree heat of 2022. Impressed so far. Color is vibrant.
