I'm so jealous! I have this very plant, and have had it for a couple of years. It doesn't seem to grow or die or bloom. It's just stayed the same all this time! :-(

Kylee- Our specimen plant blooms 6 times each year, huge sprays. But of course, they are a local native. Full sun, winter rains, very fast draining soils and they bloom and bloom with regular dead-heading. And a little bloom food helps too.

That is one of the most beautiful flowers I have ever seen!

I have good luck with this in zone 4, northern WI. Mine are getting set to start blooming, then they keep it up off and on all summer.
