Kathy1--

YES! They are spectacular!!!!! BUT--nowhere to be found--any more! What gives?
That one year they were in all the Box Stores.....I bought two.

I dug mine up from a too-narrow/small bed last Fall and planted it in a small, circular bed on my front lawn. I was careful--and i KNEW it would recover and grow.....AND bloom.

It has grown very well--and today--Monday--there is a bud showing color and I KNOW it will open up tomorrow!!!! ALL the tips of ALL the stems have oodles of buds on them....
I also know that passers by will gawk and want to know what this plant is.....

My friend left yesterday--I packed up 2 Brugs for him and also the 3 cuttings of the KK (not yet rooting) all in a box which went into his suitcase. He actually flies out tomorrow (Tuesday). I just hope everything will survive.....Funny--He also lives in LA.....Bossier City. NOT a DG member--but I kept telling him to join....

Here is the cut-back Kk last fall before I dug it up.
