Hot and dry here too. Some of last years favorites didn't bloom this year
My very "top" Indian Ripple which is STILL blooming on rebloom here
Small Carbon Footprint - bloomed for a long time, tall & bold
Triple Cherries - it too, had a rebloom,
And a seedling, Garden named Patty's Gift. (Little Jasper Spider X Cascading Blue) For only being a yearling, it bloomed like crazy.. Nothing spectacular, just a "nice" flower.
