Richard,

No, I started off with a small plant from Tom in St. Marys (you probably know him) last year, planted sometime in July. It bloomed in late August last year, so I imagine it will have plenty of time to bloom this year. I'll keep you posted though! Gary Hollar in New Bern, zone 8a, has a huge mat of this plant that blooms profusely.
