I love seeing this plant in bloom. I had a huge one that was about 2 feet wide and bloomed for years. Last winter was harsh and really took a toll on it. The only ones that survived were a few seedlings that came up this spring. It will take a few years before the babies look like your plants. Great photo and fond memories of your mom sharing with you.
Thank you so much @sunscape!! I'm sorry to hear that about your lovely plant and I hope the seedlings grow fast and strong for you. I'm thinking of transplanting a few of mine in case the same thing should happen here. Mine are right by the front porch steps and although they are pretty there, it is also a bad spot for feet and snow. 🙂
I am hoping they grow up quickly. The honeybees love them in late summer. I just love the look of the plant compared to some I have.
