You wouldn't believe how expensive it was and the fact that I bought Vienetta as well, same vendor, and never got a flower. The plants did not come from any of the clem growers we speak about on these threads, just to put many minds to rest.

The flower I showed above was while it was potted for the first year. I brought them inside to a cool room for the winter and in spring put them out again but there was no new growth. By summer I gave up and put them, in their pots, in the compost pile knowing how well plants can grow in the compost bins but no miracle occurred and they became history. They did get the same watering as the vegetable garden and they had good drainage so I just gave up on them.
