I am in zone 8a in Virginia. This bloomed the whole season till hard frost did it in. Such ongoing blooms for my enjoyment. I planted this in the ground with amended soil and fertilizer. Plants received plenty of sunshine. Loved it and will purchase again.

I have grown this plant for a few years in zone 5B and 6A in southern Ontario, Canada both in the garden and in pots. They start off a bit slow but then really take off and were loaded with blooms all summer long.

Hated this. Didn't grow at all. Would produce maybe 1 bloom a month. Every other plant in my hanging baskets did well. Except this one. Do not buy. Major disappointment & a waste of money
