    • I received 3 plants in early June last year. They grew beautifully, but never bloomed. Hopefully they will this year.

    • These have tripled in size and have abundant blooms which really do attract the butterflies! I have Monarchs and bees on them all the time. Planted 2 on each side of a common milkweed. really pleased with this purchase.
