Mine was an heirloom, an unidentified passalong received in 2005. I don't have a close up of the leaves but the first photo was when it was newly started in ground at my house. The second was a bloom when I was searching for an ID.
By the end of our summer it looks terrible but it has never failed to return. I mulch it for winter although it never dies back in this warmer zone.
