Holly, the Blackie that you gave me bloomed too. I had it growing in one of my porch boxes on the deck railing.
OSP makes a great spill over plant for combination planters. And with all the colors they can tie together and set off the other plant in the container. They can also be used as an annual ground cover, but some say they will root and spread all over the place. But in our area I would not be worried as they will freeze out over the winter months. But then if they spread and root that might just give you more potatoes to dig and store for next year.
