    Very pretty little blooms, but not a real vigorous plant for me here in zone 4. Took quite a few years for it to get established, but worth the wait because the flowers are unique. The colors really are bright and don't fade even though my plant is in full sun all day.

    True that it's not a huge bloom but each bloom is perfect. I'll measure the size next year since I know some people are obsessed by size.
