Actually, I don't. It came with the house, so it's probably 12 or 15 years old. I'm pretty sure it's probably 'Royal Star'. Every years I enjoy it so much that I finally bought another last weekend.

This is at the base of a fir tree and I don't *ever* water or feed it. We had two feet of snow last year (unusual for us) for two weeks and it didn't blink (this is from last year in April). Then we had a hot, dry, summer (90's frequently, less than usual rainfall) and, again, it didn't blink. It might be bigger if it had any help from me; I don't know.

In my opinion, a really great plant.
