Cindy,
I have one in a large pot that I got a few months ago...it has been blooming ever since. Sometimes just one bloom and then sometime three or four. It's a neat plant for a pot but mine is getting awfully big pretty quickly, so it may have to go in the ground.
BTW, I am in the Meadows in a single family home (on a secluded lot so I can plant whatever I want!). Where are you?
