I agree with alilyfan.....slow to increase and while the bloom is nice, there really aren't that many of them. It's just an 'ok' plant but I think there are others that may fill its' spot in my garden. I have given it ample opportunity to wow me, but I am definitely observing this one to see if it decides to like my 6b area....Margo Reed Indeed (another Murphy) has not lived up to it's potential either, so may be it is just too hot (or something?!?)
