I have only tried growing it once but it died within months of planting. Very pretty flower but I am a little leary of trying it again here in zone 6b.

Horribly slow grower. I have it in the same bed as Stahly's "Midnight Vigil" and Burseen's "Air Up There" , both of which are doing very well. "Jersey Bounce" however just sits and is slowly disappearing. Said to be a good grower and maybe in some parts of the world it is but for me, it has been a total waste of money, time and garden space.
