Well, they are shooting out of the ground even more now! I'm just not sure how big or thick the area will get. I hope thick and pretty! You never know until you try, right? But it's kind of a long time to wait until the middle of July for some color. This will be my experiment this summer with them. And since I knew nothing about them and just picked them up at Walmart, they probably weren't the largest bulbs. I'll keep you posted as summer progresses. ;o)

steadycam3, thanks for the info and I agree that they give a lot for the money...as long as the area gets a lot thicker that is...LOL We shall see.

bariolio, I will keep you posted as how they do for me and yes....try them! ;o)

mlmlakestevens, they should do great here, but maybe I planted them too late. But it talked so much about waiting until it was warm enough, so had to make sure of that. Can't even remember when I planted them for sure. But plenty hot enough here for them! Our weather has been crazy hot (100 to 114), but I am tired of that already!!! It is supposed to cool down into the mid 80's to high 90's until Friday, then look out. Back to the 104, 107, etc. YUCK!
