A year cycle in the life of ...... at Mooring Hitch This plant has been blooming since the first spring planted. Located in a relatively dry and sunny spot it seems to like it’s location. At the second yr. (spring 2009) I took divisions and place one at the Collection bed and another in the West Yard Bed #3. Both are doing well.
