Comments
Year 1
Near the end of the season I used some of the foliage in arrangements, 10-12 inches tall hold very well in the cooler, 2-3 weeks, these were very small to start to I kept them in small 4-inch pots all summer, they will be stored for planting in the spring, foliage still looking good 11/3/09; All but 1 died, no blooms, approximately 90% of the plants died by the end of the summer.
