Unfortunately, I can't put mine in the ground. I accidentally left mine out one night in the fall and it fell below 40 and the frost burned some of the leaves. It is looking very sad, but I have a bunch of new leaves this year, so hopefully I will have some blooms.

Last year, I got 3 rounds of blooms. At one time, I had 12 buds, but some of them fell off. I don't know the reason for it but I'm thinking that there were so many of them that they were all fighting for resources to get bigger and so the smaller ones did not survive.

Here is a picture of the bud. The first time I saw them, I couldn't believe them. It takes about 3 weeks for the bud to get this size.
