Rebirth

My Coral Seas has awaken into cold blooms. Fall is it's spring.

Not to be left out, cousin Vitifolia!

Very nice Monterey:-) I'm still waiting for mine to do something; It's still hot here, so hopefully late next month.

They are absolutely beautiful! The color is great!

I just put my Vitiolia in the ground this summer. I was surprised to see it take off and bloom within a month (bought it in a 2 gallon) especially since the standard purple one grown locally died on me. I'm in zone 9 but tempuratures change depending where I am in my yard. It's on an Eastern fence and there are Redwood trees on the other side of the fence. Any ideas about protecting it? The tag said zone 10b.
