Yes, they were pretty drought tolerant for me. But some of my tall ones got to be 5-6' tall, and they cave over in heavy rain or wind. It hard to stake things that are that big, so I've eliminated most of the tall ones.

I tried a dwarf, Perfume Red, last year. They were pretty, short, and easy to stake. But they had no evening fragrance like the taller ones did, and I never saw the hummers go near them. Hence, my quest for a fragrant dwarf continues.


My old tall ones were very fragrant in the evening, but became a pain with their rampant volunteers and massive size
