    • Very happy with our choice! We purchased this plant in late summer/early fall from Lowe's and it does not disappoint. Not only did we have prolific blooms after planting, but also this tough plant is outshining some of our evergreens that we planted this year. I love how hardy it has been with an unseasonably warm fall in Kentucky, followed by the single digit temperatures we've had recently this winter. Also, we are relieved that it is not toxic to dogs. I hope I can find more of these cute plants before the fall of 2024!
