    Waited all season for these to bloom. Sadly, they never did. Very disappointed.

    Planted these four years ago. No flowers first year, nice foliage. Second year one bloom more foliage. They take time to produce abundant flowers apparently. Every year better. Be patient not an instant bloomer here in California

    I planted as directed and the leaves came up with only 1 flower and the stalk was only about 1 inch tall. The color was beautiful and the leaves have remained all summer. I am hoping for a better result next year.
