Next Summer will show if this behaves in our driveway bed like an annual - or if it will grow like a perennial; which it is supposed to be in our growing zone. The landscaper had no idea of what the flower is or how to plant it. How odd since he brought the plant with him. I had to explain the soil conditions that are needed. Unfortunately, he was not prepared to do amend the soil to do that. So, we'll see how things go now.
Planted just 3 days ago, it looks good so far.
It really is pretty.
