I got this as a bonus and had it for 2 seasons before it faded away. I grow mine almost always in containers, so it's in ground performance is not known by me. It was a pretty thing in the cooler part of early summer, but it did have trouble with blotching. It put up enough blooms however that eventually there was a small crop of nice ones. By then however our heat had shown up and the color faded a bit. Still pretty, but not the deeper red shown in some of the pictures. I liked it enough that if I had room, I'd trial it again.............Maryl
