DeweyRooter said: April, is it possible that that last one will look like your other one after it's been in your garden for awhile?

The NOID has been in my garden for 3 years now. I bought the first one yesterday at a garden center because it looked so much different than what I had at home and thought was strawberry candy. I think the strawberry candy I had was mislabeled as the blooms are very different
