Very nice pictures! I am going to be getting some Moy Grande seeds soon. Do you know if they bloom in their first year? Also, do they die back to the ground in the winter like the Luna does?

Thanks,
Matt

Hi Matt

I'm not sure if they'll bloom from seed the first season, I bought this plant(about 4" pot size) off ebay this past spring. I also planted Lord Baltimore, Plum Crazy, Blue River II and Fantasia; the Moy Grande dwarfs them all!!

I'm quite certain that it will die back in the winter, I'm planning on cutting the main stem about four inches off the ground just so I don't accidently dig it up or damage it next spring.

Best, Alan
