Very, very nice Sue.

I had to get me one of these this year. Got lucky and found one at Lowe's for a reasonable price. I understand they don't like our wet winters and often won't return after one. So I'm going to winter it on my covered porch and water it myself every once in a while. Even at the more reasonable price I managed to find one at, it was still too pricey to be treated as an annual.

I have 5 of them now, love them! One I have had for over a year is a nice sized clump. They have been blooming for months. Cut off the main bloom stalk and it sends out lots of side stalks.

This really makes a unique banner. Very striking!
