Hi Tami,
This a sad story, but true. When we first built our house in '92, that Fall,
I could not wait to plant a garden. So I hapzardly dug up a narrow bed next to
the foundation of the house on the west side, in a breezeway, connected to the
garage. This is a wind tunnel, and gets very little sun, except for late in
the day. All these years later, there is still one lone bulb that comes up
faithfully every year. I have ever seen it bloom, but it does get taller and
taller.
Point here it that I am in SE Michigan. 'Nuf said.
