Neutral flamingonut On Jan 31, 2008, flamingonut from New Milford, NJ wrote:

Overall, this is a pretty easygoing plant. It's relatively low, maybe 12"-15", and gets shaded by surrounding taller plants, which get mostly sun from am to pm with sporatic afternoon shade. The blooms are very pretty, yet short lived, possibly because of the shading (?). Hopefully I'll move it to a spot where it can display those pretty blooms...
I had wintersown seed in 2004 and it first bloomed in 2005.

I have had this in my garden for 2 years and it has not grown or bloomed. I have it in sun-part shade. I am really anxious to hear from some one in my zone 5 as to their experience with this plant. Thank You, Joyce Bohr
