I bought one 3 years ago and kept it going for 2 years. I think this is one of the most calming flowers in my gardens.

(26,260 posts)I first saw them a couple of years ago and had to have one. Since I potted instead of planting it, I was able to bring it inside and tend to it through the Winter and it was still blooming come Spring. But it eventually ran its course, I guess, and died.
