uneven blooms

Planted in full sun and the blooms have been relatively uneven but the plant seems to be hearty. Nice color.
The real test will be if they bloom this next spring.

Highly Recommended

Very pleased with this selection due to its shorter height that fits with my garden scheme. The foliage is very pretty.

My plants were shipped across country to Oregon in two boxes. the only hitch was that the shipping company decided to put the boxes on different trucks. Despite that the plants all arrived in good condition, due largely to the care taken in preparing them for shipping at Romence.
These plants have done very well in my garden and have reached full size this season.

The plants arrived carefully packaged and in great condition. I could not put them in immediately but kept them watered and in dappled shade. They are happily blooming in my garden today. Couldn't be happier with this plant purchase.
