I have had it now for two years and it is a great plant for a shady place! Mine blooms non-stop from early spring until late Autumn, everything on it is beautiful, its velvet like foliage and the gorgeous large single blooms, attracting bumble bees and hoverflies.
Very suitable for growing in a container. Though a strong plant, good drainage is crucial!
Of course I have to take it inside before the first frost, I'll let it go dormant in its pot, only very sparingly watering when the soil gets too dry.
