Gita, yes they grew. For the first half of the summer they were kind of puny and I guess if you weren't careful, you could miss them. As babies, they look a lot like those weedy plantains and I almost pulled a few out! Don't tuck them in behind annuals because they would certainly get lost. But by the end of summer they had put on many big leaves and the plant was probably about 8" across. You could grow them in 4 or 6" nursery pots the first year and plant them out the second year: give them room in the second year!

1. Here's a pic of mine at the beginning of the second year. I was trying to take a picture of the azelea and the tulips and while the composition is certainly subpar as to that objective, at least you can see the Indian Summers in this one. :/
2. I'm not kidding. Give them plenty of breathing room!
