Awesome pic..!, and it's a great plant to have in the garden. Last year's shoots start blooming in May here, and the new shoot growth starts blooming in late July-early August, so it has blooms for several months.!

Hi Flcrazy
Yes it's a great plant.I have two and they seed freely which means I've always have some seedlings to give to friends.
