    I received 'Mount Doom' as a generous gift by an NGA member in the year of introduction. Brian Reeder sent 3 healthy fans. I set each fan about 1 foot apart and now have three small vigorous clumps.

    Definitely plant this one where you can enjoy it with back lighting in the morning and/or afternoon. The flowers are still fresh at sunset.

    It branches freely and stands chin-high to my 5'2". It's a favorite ❤️
