Haven't tried 'Firestorm' but tried 'Starwoman' and it died the
first year.

Ah. 'Muse' is GREAT here. I think it is the precipitation (or
lack of same) that is the problem for me and the bonus for you.
It is the only thing that makes sense to me.

I think I lost it but don't know if I ever ordered it? Thought
about it. Anyway, I don't have it it now. I even forgot that
'Muse' was Marky's....my brain said Aitken since that is where I
ordered it from, I think. I have had it for several seasons and
the color is fantastic. It is planted right next to Lowell's
'Midsummer Night's Dream'.
