I bought this plant just this summer at a local garden center. I planted it right away in a dappled sun area, and while firming the soil around the plant a small branch broke off. I stuck it in the soil, figuring I killed it, but what the heck. I kept up with watering and checking on it to be sure it established itself, and it has taken off! Looks beautiful, still blooming, and the broken branch made itself some roots and has grown and bloomed too! Who knew? What a great purchase! Such pretty lavender daisy-like flowers.
