I'm in 9b and it started March 23 despite some mornings below freezing, into April--not the usual weather. I have a 7 foot long raised bed in which I planted 7 fans in fall 2010. (The 2nd pic is 1/3 of the bed.) All fans bloomed in spring '& November, 2011. This spring there are 28 stalks, each with 6-7 large ruffled flowers, still going now. Also in '11 I had a clump in a 15" tub which got handtrucked in to the south living room window, where it bloomed in December & January. |
