Now the flowers are passed and the foliage has extended to about five inches in length with broad ends and distinct points. At flowering the leaves were under 1 inch and very triangular. Does this fit your # 2 ( for bloom time) or #3 for leaf shape at bloom? BOTH ? I'll leave it out until cold cuts it back, but wonder still about hardiness? Thanks. Jim W. -- Dr. James W.
