Might work for you

I planted these 2 years ago.The first year was drought; they barely made it. This year, nice big green leaves but no flowers, I am beginning to wonder if I got the plant I ordered.

I love them but...
Reviewed By: Mullins (Suffolk, VA)
I love these plants. Unfortunately, they don't do too well in my area. I originally purchased four plants. After five years, two are alive. I have seen them bloom once so far. You don't have to worry about expanding space for them to grow. All the ones I have owned, grow for 2 years then stay around the same size. Very attractive foliage and the blooms are a nice surprise when they bloom.

Have a bunch from 6
Reviewed By: G. Cooper (Birmingham, AL)
My original order was for six about 4 years ago. Now there are hundreds. Year before last I collected all the seed pods from the spent flowers and kept them in a bucket for a while. I shelled them like peas and threw them out and into the woods. Looks great in the winter. Only one problem. The leaves on bottom turn black. For this year, I cut all of them down for 2008 and they are coming back beautifully.
