Never Appeared
Reviewed By: Salena (Princeton, TX)
I planted these in the bed I have planted most everything else I have ordered...and nothing. Pretty disappointed in this as I love the look of these funky flowers. I hold out a small hope that they are resting underground and will pop up next spring. But I think I am kidding myself, LOL. I should have at least seen some foliage by now. I will most likely try again, as they are too cool looking not to!

This is a fast growing plant, but the flowers are small, however they look great in vases with other flowers. these plants will produce young ones every year, so now my neighbors have them and everyone is happy
