More foliage than flower, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it flops terribly. Maybe in another location it would be better.

I love this plant. Although it got bigger this year than anticipated and I had to move it because it's outward branching habit was taking over my other flowers. But I definitely recommend this flower. Easy to take care of, no special care. I wouldn't put it in full sun though, scorches the leaves.
