Tried to grow this plant 3 times...first replanted it in a larger container...it died! Next left it in it's original container...it died. Bought another one & planted it in my BF garden...it lived for about 4 months & then suddenly died, also! I amended the soil but again, to no avail! I was fortunate to have purchased them from a nursery that guarantees it's plants for a year! I exchanged the last one for the Flutterby series 'Blue Heaven'...hope I have better luck with it! I have 6-8 other varieties of BF bushes that are thriving in my yard!
