We started with nine seeds, all of which germinated. The first winter, we built a shelter over them and strung up some Christmas lights. They survived. The second winter, they got snowed on repeatedly (which is stunning, by the way), and they just got bigger. They finally bloomed the third year in a spectacular display. The next spring, there were thousands of seedlings.<br /><br />There are two photos of these plants in my Facebook photo album: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.100331276649856.590.100000189515795&type=3&l=b07626841d<br /><br />Prepare for daily hummingbird battles and heavy bee activity!Richard McFarlandhttp://www.mcfarlandolson.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-73020620710651657202012-05-09T16:52:35.891-07:002012-05-09T16:52:35.891-07:00I can't wait to see how these develop.
