Thanks Neal for the confirmation :-)

Kim,

I have had them return for me but not strongly. I know they do not like cold weather and are regarded as zone 8 and higher so we're kind of borderline. Like Neal says they aren't crazy about significant heat either, so that knowcks us out of the running. Like you I do not consider them a "perennial".

Dahlias are a huge source of frustration for me as they DO return each year and develop these massive clumps - but look really ratty in the summer as that is another plant group that does not like significant heat....they burn and wilt horribly even if given a lot of water. They can actually look nice into the fall if I can endure a really rough looking plant through the summer, LOL.

Here is an unknown narcissus in bloom today
