Time and patience
"Planted three in Spring 2022. It was slow to start but by late summer they had several attractive flowers. The plants were wide with sparse stems and blossoms. I am hopeful they will fill in to become bushy over time. The flowers are a lovely deep pink/purple and the shape reminded me of Mexican Hat. I may add a few more plants to fill in the area but for now I will wait to see what they do this summer. It is a fascinating and unique plant."

I would buy this product again.
"I have not used this plant in any of my gardens yet except for my most recent purchase. It is a slow grower. But it is healthy and I am looking forward to see when it blooms."
— El (5/5)
Don't buy if you have rabbits!
"It came and was tiny, over about 2 months it started really growing and had about 3 inches of growth on it, and a rabbit came and ate it to the roots!"
— Carla (3/5)
Butterflies & bees love this plant
"planted on a terrace, beautiful plant, low water, low care"
— CB (5/5)
Slow to establish. Hope it make it through winter.
"No growth the first season. Just stayed alive. Hope it make it through the winter and grows this year. Not sure if I will recommend it yet or not? Tried it from seed in past and no luck with that either."
— Ben (3/5)
Nifty plant!
"I have these plants in a sunny, dry-ish area, along a sidewalk mixed in with some coreopsis and echinacea. Due to the sun heating the walk, it tends to try out the area quickly (even after it rains) so I needed plants that could handle drier soil conditions, but could also tolerate wetter soil when it happened. They are a bit slow to take off, at least in my experience. I bought some a few years ago and they're just now really growing strong."
— Deanna (4/5)
Cute!
"By the end of the season, this plant was spreading and blooming. A winner right out of the gate!"
— Wyogal (4/5)
Good for Utah clay
"Thrives well on hot, south-facing clay hillside with little water. Minor floral display the first year, but came back bigger and more beautiful the following seasons. Foliage is virtually evergreen in current location."
— Utah D. (4/5)
