I planted 2 of these a year ago and LOVE them!! They did quite well last summer despite blazing heat and this year - WOW, they've doubled in size!! Together they cover a width of 5 feet and height of 30", exceeding my expectations. I hope I can find a few more to plant this spring in a place that needs that size & mass of color.
