Never disappoints, January 19, 2009
Submitted by NJPlantLover from Marlborok, NJ
"This flower does great in full sun in my NJ garden and survives the winters without fail. After three years it has multiplied and I was able to transplant into other areas of my garden. What a wonderful reliable plant!"

I love the color, September 8, 2007
Submitted by butterflygardener from Seymour, CT
"The purple of these flowers is really bright, and they bloom a lot during the summer months. You can even use them as cut flowers, but I just enjoyed them in the garden."

"Its done a real bang up job for me this year !
Maybe it was the heavy early season rains, but it really took off, everywhere I planted it ; all my customers are very happy with it .. Try planting it with annual ( red ) poppies , such as " Flanders " a great color combo, they are about the same size plants , and look awesome together ! A real Winning Combination ...

Can't wiat to see how they take our fickle winters ..."
