bethnorcal9Updated My summers are in the 90s and low 100s. Mine blows really fast and it's not in full sun all day. The first opening stage is quite lovely, but by the end of the day is fully open and done in about 2 days. I'd say it's more of a coo...

nippstress - zone 5 NebraskaUpdated Belinda's Dream is at least root hardy for me in a zone 4 pocket of my yard, but I agree with posters here that say she likes heat. We get plenty of 90 and 100 degree days in the summer, relatively dry, and she'll bloom without ba...
