Almost forgot one. This is Survivor and it lives up to it's name. The tuber was badly shriveled and took forever to sprout. It lagged behind the others growing in the planters so I planted it in the very back of the bed to "hide." it. After I planted it, a deer stepped on it and bent it over. Luckily, the stalk wasn't broken. I propped it up between three short stakes and still can't believe it grew and bloomed. It truly is a survivor. It's a much darker color than the photo shows.
