| I planted one of these beauties early in the spring. it seemed to flourish for most of the summer, but has now died down, appearing to have gone dormant. Is this typical? Would appreciate hearing others' experience with this plant. Thank you. |

| Very different climates, but I don't find late summer dormant unusual for mine here. Or didn't.... It's still in a large pot from moving it from my former garden. In it's previous site, it did get supplemental water but also a bit of wind. It always looked pretty darned sad and beaten up by September, long before our first frost, but with growth points for the next season right at soil level already apparent by Fall. |

| They bloom in spring and then I forget about them until their existence surprises me again the next spring. Easy and reliable. |
