Yes, I like it. It is well behaved for me, unlike it's cousin NOID tangutica that I shovel pruned because it grew wider than tall and like a wild weed, not a nice Clemmie.

Mine gets about 8' tall. It blooms in summer. It might be more robust if I had done a better job on the planting hole and it wasn't in the flowerbed that has tree roots from neighbor's fir trees. I can't escape the roots in the backyard until I move....

I have it planted with Barbara Harrington.

The petunia bloom is from a hanging basket I hang from the center of this little arbor.

I don't think it gets mildew which is a plus for me here but earwigs or some other bugs do love to eat it. It can get really chewed.

The seed heads are really pretty.

I really like it.

Thank you, that is very helpful. Beautiful combination you have there! I have tangutica too, that is why I wanted to ask before adding Helios :-) I find tangutica to be exactly as you have described it in my garden too.
