I planted these late fall 2023, not realizing I should have waited until spring, however they survived the rainy season in the PNW. 3 survived and bloomed summer of 2024. This year, the stalks are up and protruding in April so I know there will be an even larger plant. Will add more this year. My grandma grew these in WA, along the coast. They always did so well. I planted mine in her memory which brings comfort and carrying out her legacy of flower gardening.
