I purchased this plant last Fall. It started flowering this Spring, around the beginning of June. The blooms are beautiful and long-lasting. Stems are strong enough in the beginning of flowering season, but have a tendency to plow around the end of July. We are now at the beginning of August and all blooms are a dull pale brown: I have cut them all and for the moment, there are no new buds...
