Seeds for these fun pinks were purchased and planted in 2018. I ended up with a few plants that I put in pots around the driveway that spring I was impressed with the uniformity of the plants and the large flowers. I was frustrated that the bloom season was relatively short, however. That could have been due to the hot, dry weather, or it could just be a trait of the plant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

About three of these plants remain three years later and are just starting to bloom now (June 10th). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
