Professional Growing Information Purchased from a nursery. It has been a very reliable plant, slightly exceeds it's listed height. Blooms are a bit muted so choose another color if you're looking for something to really strike your eye against the foliage. Foliage and seed pods are nice in cut flower arangements. Does self seed more than the yellow in my garden- remove sed pods or new seedlings early they grow deep roots quickly. NY zone 6.

I was excited for this plant to arrive, but was very disappoint when it did. First of all it was much smaller than anticipated for being advertised as a quart. I could see the plant had recently been "replanted" from a smaller container and set in the quart pot. I communicated with Customer Service about the issue, but was told that was acceptable. Now, the reason I'm leaving this review is because both plants (2) died and did not return this year. I purchased 1 other plant from a different retailer and that one survived.

This plant is beautiful and returns every year. The soft pink flowers are pretty against the pale green foliage. The leaves are a lovely shape as well.
