Professional Growing Information 
When I first received this plant from PW, it was dormant. Spring was getting started by late February, but there was no sign of life on this little fellow. I waited, and by the middle or end of March I was about to give up, but took an extreme zoom photo, and sure enough, there was a tiny bit of green! I'm so happy I kept him and gave him a prime spot! Last year it produced a couple of blooms, but this year - wow! I want to transplant it into the ground, especially since it survived a very bitter late freeze down to 19 degrees with a wind chill in the single digits. I'm just waiting and trying to figure out when to do it.

This plant is very hardy once established and easy to grow. The flowers are really beautiful, more of a purple than a blue though. And this is definitely not seedless. It drops the dead flowers, and does require some clean up, but it's worth it for the blooms.

I have 2 of these plants,for 18 years now and in the past two years they are not flowering. I want to buy more of them. Anne Marie.

I love this plant so much. Once established, I never have to water it. I have it in a spot that gets average moisture and part sun (morning and evening sun, but it shaded by a tree midday. Mine is not seedless, however. But I don't mind - I give away or pick out the babies. But it's definitely not seedless!

I have 2 of these now and they are beautiful!!! The flowers are exceptional and a very pretty blue. I was looking for a seedless variety and found it! And I love it! I removed a previous Rose of Sharon that was very pretty due to the dropping and growing of many seeds in the wrong places every year that had to be constantly pulled out.
