Although when the sun is really blasting in the summer, I move it to part shade.

It keeps it in check but takes a few months to start blooming. The one next door is full of nesting birds right now. Maybe I should recommend a fall pruning, though that's when it's at its floral peak. It's all about compromise with this plant: space, flowers, or birds? Enjoy your rains as best as you can, I'm sure your plants will!lostlandscapehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10960325527200005691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4547783720122066148.post-46536707386464092042009-03-17T07:48:00.001-05:002009-03-17T07:48:00.001-05:00Wow!

They're the state flower of Texas. They're fairly small with the bloom being about 4 inches (I'm not sure what that is in metric!). They're planted along the sides of the highways in Texas and when they're all in bloom, it's an amazing site.

I'm going to replace it this year because I do love them.
