This is the first flower to bloom in my garden. It is sooo cute and full of pink flowers. The flowerbed of my foreclosure was full of weeds last year before i planted this flower. This is the first flower to ever bloom in my garden but it was worth the wait. Gorgeous!!
We live near a busy street, and have a small piece of land between the busy road and our front yard fence. I've tried planting many different plants there - none lived. Last season, we tried these. Last season they seemed to be barely hanging on--so we pretty much stopped taking care of them. One season later (now) they are blooming and beautiful. Wow! I highly recommend these for city-type settings.
