Oooh, you stole one of my recommendations. Another side note for me is it
grows in a little shade as well and never quits blooming. Mine did live
over one winter covered with fir branches. This year, tooooo wet and it
croaked. But I bought a new one and I'm happy to do it every year if that's
what it takes.

flowers come together to praise the Lord and teach all
who look upon them to do likewise.
