AuntyB,

The pot is pretty big----maybe 20" or so.

I think what I did that I need to do less of next year is to put too many "Dynamite" slow release granules in the soil when I re-potted it this Spring. They feed for 9 months! But--as you see--no matter how gorgeous it is--it simply had too many leaves at the cost of no blooms to speak of.

It really grew gung-ho. I had a hard time digging the pot up and out of the bed--as long roots had grown through the drain holes...
I cut them all off and pit the pot in a plastic bag to keep any exposed roots from totally drying up. I will have to go to a Brug ID place to maybe find out.
OR--I can post it on the brug Forum. They are good over there.....

Here's a close-up of the pot and the roots that grew out the holes.
