Two survived and have been growing slowly but steadily ever since. They seem to have quite a horizontal growth habit and are a decent width now but are shorter than I'd anticipated (under 2 feet tall). The main bloom is in May, with a few stray flowers continuing later in the summer, after a brief pause. The flowers are quite small but absolutely gorgeous, almost orchid-like. I only wish there was some fall foliage color. Oh, and it might be worth mentioning that they are slow to leaf out in the spring.anonymousenoreply@blogger.com
