genie - I'm sure yours will do just fine, but I agree that good garden compost spread around it and some good mulch this first year will help. I am posting my Luna Red that I thought I had lost because it took so long to come up this spring. As everyone else has said, you just have to be patient. Yours is very pretty!! The flowers on my Red and White Lunas are the size of a small dinner plate. Love them! And by the way, I pinched the seed pods and had a gorgeous new Luna White during the winter in Fla. I will pinch more seed pods this year too.

Good luck with yours!! Enjoy!
