GH,

What a BEAUTIFUL plant that is....I wish i lived closer to garden centers, the closest one to me is Lowes and it is about an hour away (going the speed limit) We have a few Mom and Pop centers here, but they rarely carry anything, most of the plant I already have.

P.S. my Miss PP is doing wonderful.. i am so excited

Here in sourthern California we can grow that in the ground all year. It really adds color in the winter. Now the other perennials are starting to fill in.

That is a beautiful plant. I have been looking for one for quite a long time. Maybe I'll break down and order it one day. I keep hoping that some of our local HD's or Lowe's will get some in. I think your plant is just lovely.
