I am on my third piece of Best Bet. Both of the first two bloomed in
the spring, rebloomed in the fall and did not return in the next
spring. This third piece is doing well, increasing faster than it is
blooming, for two years now, but 97 is a new year. D C has done well
here. It does seem to increase slowly but it has not tried to bloom
out. It is also in partial shade and seems to like that?! Feature
Attraction is a new add this year. Will have to wait and see.
