Sabrina, I got three fans from ebay last fall and they all bloomed this spring. I was surprised at how pretty they actually are. Mine are not mauve, but more of a peachy color, which I love. They are in a bed under a pine tree and does not get as much sun as I would like, but they performed well for a first time bloomer. I planned to move them but I'll let them stay for mow since they did well.
