Just planted March 2007. I purchased the plant in a 1 gallon pot after seeing it growing at the nursery. Tends to be open, rangy grower, so needs to be cut back hard. Flowers are abundant--a lovely pink with dark rose center and veining. After I have more experience with it, I'll add to this report.
