We planted 6 of these Flamenco Torch Lilies in the spring of 2007. I was pleased with their performance in our hot, humid summer as well as on into the fall. Now in the spring of 2008, I am absolutely delighted with these plants! They started blooming in mid-April and one of the plants has 9 blooms on it in various stages. The hummingbirds are attracted to the plants and feed at them several times a day even though there is a feeder nearby.

So far, so good. I planted a small start of this last year, in about June, I think. All in all, I think it has done very well in a bed with lots of nasty clay! It grew into a nice sized clump by the end of summer, and had about 4-5 blooms in its first year. It made it through its first winter and it it greening up nicely, looks like the clump will continue to grow. All of that when I lost several ornamental grasses, some that had been established 2+ years!
