Professional Growing Information I bought this for the size, to fit into a smallish area. In the second year, it was a nice size. The blooms are beautiful. My only complaint is when the blooms are spent, they’re an ugly brown and quite obvious in my opinion. I’m going to transplant this so it’s not in a prominent area where the spent blooms are very visible. It should be deadheaded for appearance, so plant in an area that’s easy to access so you can deadhead.
