Professional Growing Information I ordered 2 of these and planted them early spring of 2020. The plants are extremely healthy. My lawn guy accidently mowed them about a month after I planted them. I was afraid they would die, but they quickly grew back to about 8 inches tall and started blooming. This year they are blooming prolifically. I would give them 5 stars except the color isn't as it appears on the website. They're not as bright, more of a purple color.
