Here is Honorine Jobert on October 24 last year at my new house. It is one of the very latest to bloom (and of course last year was weird). I watered them, so they laughed at the drought (first pic).

And here they are at my old house on October 23, 2008. I started with four plants, and they spread. The myrica pennsylvanica behind them, which suckers, held them back.

While Wirbelwind has been much more hesitant. I find it doesn't really spread much at all.

Wild Swan is gorgeous, but I saw that it was rated zone 6-8. Too much caution by the sellers?
