Yes, Marilyn, it grows about 5' tall here too. It was in full bloom a couple
weeks ago and yes, the hummers love it.
Here in the Cincinnati area we are in our 7th week with no rain. The corn
and soybean crops are a disaster throughout Ohio. I've already lost two
dwarf conifers and who knows how many perennials. The 90+ degree days don't
help matters at all either. I've had a truckload of water on the delivery
schedule, promised every day since last Saturday and it's still not here.
Please send rain!!!
